The process of communicating visually using text and images to present information is called Graphic Design. Graphic design is
also the term used for the product (e.g., the design) created.
From ancient cave art to modern road signs and textbooks, graphic art uses text, drawings, painting, photography and printmaking
for the purpose of presenting information in an orderly manner.
Contemporary graphic design makes sophisticated use of modern computers and software programs to store, combine, and apply multimedia
elements to create the finished graphic design. Generally, multimedia is a term which includes a combination of text, audio, still
images, animation, video, and interactive content forms, in contrast to media which only utilize traditional forms of printed or
handmade text and still graphics.
Special effects can be created using black and white or color digital photographs to produce a portrait of an individual which is
distinctive and artistic and can also reveal personal characteristics and personality traits.

For example, your favorite person in the world on her own Harley-Davidson portrayed in the flawless manner of an photo ad
promoting this iconic make of motorcycles, with the sun glinting on the chrome fenders and her leather jacket, can say a lot
about her and about you as a couple. A super large photo on canvas of her framed and mounted on the living room wall will
reveal even more about both of you and your relationship. Pride, love of great workmanship, bravery, a shared spirit of
adventure, just for openers.
You can take the digital photo yourself. Be sure you take a lot of photos in various poses and lighting conditions so you
can choose one that shows a great smile as well as great bike details and a clear, sharp overall image. Upload the photo
(or a few photos if you need to combine the best parts of two poses) to Paint Your Life's
Your Photos on Canvas online
gallery website. There you can order a photo on canvas print that portrays your significant other as a glamorous
advertising model in action.
A large photo on canvas portrait ready for hanging will make a terrific surprise birthday or anniversary gift, and she will be so
pleased she'll probably order a matching one of you on your bike to hang along side it.
