Last month, I picked up this picture frame holder at Ikea on the cheap. I liked it because it could be mounted to the ceiling for a hanging look and because there was enough room to display ten 6x6 photos. I knew instantly that was the perfect frame for these prints.
So how can you make some of these bad boys for yourself? It’s easy peasy.
Step 1: Stalk Google and photo sites to find a black and white image you think would make some rad pop art. Ideally, larger images work well but any size can be used. Once you’ve found a photo you deem drool worthy, save it to your desktop. Lets use this one as an example:
Step 2: Head on over to Picnik and follow the instructions for uploading the picture. This can be done by clicking the green “Upload a Photo” button located to the left of the page.
Step 3: Once the photo is uploaded, you’ll be taken to a screen where you can crop, resize and edit your photo. Once you have the image sized out just the way you want, head on to step 4.
Step 4: Click on the green “Create” tab. You’ll be taken to a screen with loads of photo options. For this project, we are going to select the “Effects” button located to the top left of the screen.
Step 5: Once the “Effect” browser pops up on the left hand side, scroll down until you come to the “Tint” option. Click on the “Tint” button.
Step 6: At this point your photo will now be tinted whatever default color the screen opened with. You can change the color by clicking to different part of the rainbow bar under the “Tint” button.
Step 7: But wait! I don’t want the whole image saturated! Dude, I got you covered! Just click on the paint brush icon under the “Tint” button. You’ll see a box pop up that says “Effect Painting.” Click the box marked “Reverse Effect” located at the bottom and all the color will disappear. You can now apply color selectively by holding your mouse down and brushing the color where you want it in the photo.
Step 8: Once you’re happy with your image, SAVE IT to your desktop. Now you can print it at home or do what I did and take it to Staples for some real saturated color goodness!
