How To: Destination Prints

September 28, 2022

How To: Destination Prints
 

How to create the perfect destination print.

The places and the spaces in between

We’ve been designing these personalised destination prints since 2010, and know exactly how to make your print look beautiful. Here are some of our top tips on how to choose the places for your artwork and how we’ll space it out to make it perfect for you.

Step one

List out your places. Take a day to let your mind remember all the places you've been, and what they meant to you. Here's a few suggestions on what to include.

  • names and birth dates of children
  • friendship groups
  • funny sayings unique to you
  • quotes / lines from favourite songs
  • international coordinates
  • meaningful dates
  • sporting venues or clubs
  • festivals & gigs
  • basically, anything that is important and meaningful to you
  •  birth town or hospital
  • road names where you’ve lived
  • schools & universities
  • favourite holidays
  • where you met, got engaged, or wedding/honeymoon location
  • places you’ve worked
  • important restaurants
  • achievements, like mountains climbed or races completed.

     

    Step two

    A lot of text, or not much text? The more characters you have per line, the busier it will look.

    This is down to personal tast and the aesthetic you'd like to achieve. Using single words/places per line will result in a cleaner look and feel. Adding details, such as a hotel name to a town you visited will allow for more variation in the text.

    Step three

    Choose a background colour. Orange is the new black (or ocean, or stiffkey, or rose, or sage, or smoke...)

    Step four

    Bask in the glory of being the best gift giver ever. Extra brownie points if you had it framed.

    Well, hello! If we haven't met before, I'm Betsy, where have you been hiding? Or possibly, more appropriately, where have I been hiding? Spoiler, neither of us have actually been hiding, but getting seen in this world of online businesses can kind of feel like you're walking around with a Potter-esq cloak of invisibility.

    Our travel memories print is a like a tiny gallery in a single artwork that features iconic images from all your favourite holiday destinations or important cities and towns in the journey of your life. The print can be used as a memory board of a whole lifetime of travels and exploring, or as a record of just one amazing year of travel.

    Making ONE small change

    One of my favourite mini organisation jobs for this time of year is filling out the new wall planner. All the birthdays, anniversaries, and events already booked get written in. Birthdays in ink, and events in pencil - you never know what will come along to knock an event off track, but a person's birthday is their birthday no matter what!
