Three Tips for an Amazing Fathers’ Day Gift


We can never ignore the importance of father in our life.  As William Wordsworth said “Father! - To God himself we cannot give a holier name “. He taught us how to count from 1 to 100; he taught us how to ride bicycle; he taught us the value of life; he supported and encouraged us when we get down or frustrated. He always says less but does a lot. He sacrificed a lot for us since he decided to become our father. He began to raise a family with scaling back many of the activities and interests that defined his life previously and giving up the freedom to be spontaneous whenever the mood strikes since we were born. He deserves an amazing and unique gift which helps us express our gratitude and respect for him. With the coming of the Father’s Day, there are three tips for you to present an amazing gift for your respected father.

1.     A Bouquet of Beautiful Flowers


A bouquet of beautiful flowers is an essential part of an amazing gift for this coming Father’s Day. Flowers that convey your gratitude and respect for your father with their special meanings are ideal for Father's Day.

A bunch of blooming roses will express your reverence and gratitude for him. White and Red Roses are considered the official flowers for Father's Day. People wear a white rose to honor a deceased father and a red rose to honor a surviving father. Besides, flowers stand for masculinity, tall and sturdy like fathers such as tropical flowers are also an ideal choice of this Father’s Day gift.

He may treasure the photos of those important moments in his old photo album which is easily fading away.

In fact, you can scan those old photos into computer and present him a sunning and unique collage made by collage creators like Picture collage Maker, CollageIt , Pearlmountain Image Convertor, etc, as an amazing Father’s Day gift to him.

Main Points of Restoring Faded Photos

Time is the most ruthless but powerful thing than any other things, which makes people become old, fades individuals’ memories, and tries all. Human beings are so tiny in front of time. Even a recorded photo cannot record things permanently for the colors may fade out day by day. However, as the time passed by, are you willing to throw away your faded photos which record your beautiful memories? If you are not, you should know the main points about restoring faded photos now.    

Learning something about restoring the faded photos, you can save your faded photos easily one day. There are three main points referring to fixing a faded photo: Color Balance, Contrast Enhancement, and Saturation Enhancement. To deal with a faded photo, one should control the three aspects skillfully. Of course, it must need some knowledge of art and aesthetics.   

Color Balance

Searching the meaning of the “color balance”, color balance is a term in photography and image processing. It means the global adjustment of the intensities of the colors (typically red, green, and blue primary colors). If you are a major in art, I think, you can easily adjust specific colors perfectly correct with a store of specialized knowledge. But if you are not familiar with art, the only thing you can believe in is your perception to beauty and aesthetics.     

Contrast Enhancement

A faded photo should be fixed by enhancing its contrast which refers to the measurement of the brightness level between the brightest white and darkest black in an image. Generally speaking, the greater the contrast is, the clearer the image will be. But, it is not to say that the greater the contrast is, the better the photo looks. As the Chinese old saying goes that when a thing reaches its extreme, it reverses its course. It is also true here. If adjusting the contrast improper, the photo will look unnatural. However, what is the best contrast ratio? The best contrast ratio to display the vivid and rich colors is 120:1.  

Saturation Enhancement

Saturation is another main factor which will affect the brightness of a photo, especially a faded photo. When you fix a faded photo, you should enhance its saturation as well as its contrast. It is not easily to manually control it well, so you can choose automatic color saturation enhancement.




After knowing these three main points, I firmly believe that you can restore your faded photos more easily

Six Steps to Decorate a Novel Bedroom with Your Collages


Collage is just an original way to carry some life into your bedroom besides traditional way of decorating bedroom with posters, music records, bottles, frames or even photos. What’s more, you can schedule a collage covering photos of children growing up, exotic places and weddings. If there are teenagers in your house, you can help them create their own wall collages with the cover art from their CDs. So don’t hesitate any longer, join me on the journey to learn the six steps to decorate bedrooms with your collages for a better decoration.

1. Consider the Theme of Your Decoration


Since a bedroom is the personal getaway or sanctuary that expresses your taste of colors and collections, the theme of your decoration is the first thing you should consider. Only when you set your theme, you can decide the right style of the collages fitting for your theme. For example, if you want to have a feminine, shabby chic or Victorian bedroom, then you will hope to have a floral or feminine artwork. However, a modern bedroom will look great with prints in sleek frames. Once you determined the theme of your house, you can decide the appropriate color and the frame of the collages which you will use to decorate your bedroom.



2. Consider the Owner of the Bedroom




Since you may decorate the bedroom for yourself, your children or your parents, you should take the owners into consideration. You should consider their ages, hobbies, preference, and so on. For example, if you decorate the room for your seventy years old mother, you should never consider using collages made by photos of football stars. You should consider scanning and imprinting the photos she treasure in her old photo album into the computer, and make her favorite collage. You should also choose the right color of the collage she may love.

3. Choose the Appropriate Photos


After you made the previous determination, you should go into choosing the appropriate photos to fit for your theme. You can choose the beautiful scenic photo taken during your Indian travel. You can also choose the artistic photos you took last mouth.

4. Make Your Collages


 Next, you may need to scan and input the photos into your computer. Then you can create your collages with the chosen photos by collage maker like Picture Collage Maker, CollageIt and so on. When your stunning collages have been made, you should print it directly.

5. Choose Frames for Your Collage


Then you should choose frames for your collage before you put it on the wall, since directly sticking your collages onto the wall may leave behind marks of the item and holes in the wall when you get rid of them. You should also choose the right style of the frame according to your decoration theme.

6. Decide the Place of the Collage in the Bedroom


Then you can decide the place of the collage in the bedroom and put it on the wall. It should never too sparse or too intensive.

Now, our journey of decorating novel bedrooms with your collage comes to its end. May you a novel decoration for your room!
