Pop art has been used in the production of Wall Art and posters for years and various different styles of pop art have been developed. Ranging from the most famous of all, the Warhol style, to the more revolutionary Che style based on the Che Guevara posters and t-shirts proudly displayed and worn for many years. The great thing about turning your photograph into a piece of pop art is that you can then have it printed onto a range of incredible looking, great fun personalised photo items.

Pop Art Photo Gifts

Giving personalised photo gifts is a treat that is perfect for any occasion and can be given to any recipient. By first converting a photograph of them into a pop Art Reproduction, it can add fun and colour to any of the great range of gifts that are already available. As well as pieces of wall art, including pop art posters and Canvas Prints, you can have a pop art reproduction added to any of a long list of photo items.

From Warhol To Che

Before you get to choosing the type of photo gift that you want to print to, though, you will likely want to decide on the type of pop art.

Andy Warhol was the most famous proponent of the pop art style and of al his work, the most famous was the four panel print of Marilyn Monroe. Not only were the prints colourful but they were modern and striking.

Che Guevara posters have adorned the walls of student rooms and flats, as well as t-shirts, for years. The use of a single colour screen behind a portrait really makes the image stand out and again allows the infusion of colour into any piece.

Another, perhaps less well known, method of transforming a photograph into a piece of pop art is the posterising process. This process sees several different colour washes and prints applied to the black and white outline of an image to create an American rock and roll style.

Add Extra Colour To Your Photographs

Regardless of the style of pop art you choose, it allows for a very unique and extremely striking use of colour with your photographs. While some software attempts to recreate these styles through the use of automated processes, the effects are rarely as good as they are when a professional art worker or designer completes the process by hand.

Printing Your Pop Art

Once your pop Art Print is complete, you can opt to have it printed a a poster or Photo Canvas to display proudly on your wall. Alternatively, you could have it applied to a handbag, laptop bag, or even a personalised apron. Not only are personalised gifts that use pop art ideal to keep for yourself but they can make extremely unusual, unique, and great fun gifts for any family member or friend celebrating any occasion. You can really let your imagination run wild in choosing the photograph, style, and item that you want to personalise.

Prom Dress Styles That Will Stand The Test Of Time

When you find the perfect dress, you'll probably experience a fair bit of sticker shock. Good quality dresses can range from a pricey $50 to an obscene $300 or more. If you're funding your own prom experience, the price can be daunting as you weigh the benefits of parting with your hard earned money. If your parents are purchasing for you, you may experience a long debate over the lasting quality of the dress.

Spending $100 or more on a one time use purchase is out of the question for many, but if you'll use it once or twice a year for the next decade ? or longer ? it's must easier to justify the investment. If you focus on colors, styles and quality that will stand the test of time, you'll be better off in the long run.

Color

A few young starlets have been seen out and about in bold, vibrant colors, such as purple or pink. These colors, while fashionable, fall in and out of favor about as often as the sun sets. At stores, you may see a plethora or pink, but next year it might be green or vivid blue.

There are several colors that are always in fashion. These old stand bys can see you through formal events from dances and banquets to weddings and graduations. Black, muted red and brown are the traditional formal neutrals which flatter nearly all skin shades.

These may seem boring, especially if you're on the cutting edge of fashion. This color never goes out of style, though, and can act as a canvas. Instead of letting your clothing stand out, choose basic dress that flatters your figure and spice it up with sparkly jewelry, novel bags and attractive shoes that reflect your style. This one, simple dress can then embody a variety of styles and appearances, for a one time investment.

Style

Just like color, the cuts and necklines of dresses go in and out of vogue. This year, styles reminiscent of Marylyn Monroe and flamenco dancers were seen on the red carpet. Next year ? next month, even ? these will be a thing of the fast.

Well fitted cocktail dresses or long flowing gowns, however, are always fashionable. The perfect cocktail dress should be just the right length, barely above the knee, with a bit of flair in the skirt. For gowns, look for skirts that just barely miss the floor, while you're in heels.

Gowns can often be a good buy because they can be temporarily hemmed for seasons where short is in style, or be expanded with an underskirt of tulle for a fuller look. Both of these alterations are easy to add and later undo to make your gown an extremely versatile, long lasting wardrobe staple.

Quality

A traditionally fashionable dress isn't a good buy if it's so poorly made that you'll only get four or five uses from it. Many "boutiques" sell fashionable dresses, but they are often low quality fabric and construction that will run, tear or generally fall apart. Keep your eye on natural fabrics, such as linen, cotton and silk, and steer clear of anything synthetic.

Before you purchase a dress, take a look at the fabric, and examine it for tightness. There should be no loops, snags or other imperfections. Many dresses are silk impersonators, to decrease production costs. These should be avoided, as those fabric types are extraordinarily prone to snagging and running, and cannot be repaired.

If the fabric passes the test, turn the dress inside out and inspect the hem of the common split areas ? the zipper, waist and arms. The seam should have tight, neat stitches. Hold the fabric on either side of the seam and tug gently a few times. The stitches should stay tight. If there are any gaps when the seam is pulled, put the dress back. It will fall apart before you know it.
