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.
