Father’s Day is the ideal time to share your sincerest feelings with your sweet dear ol’ dad. It is the perfect opportunity to treat him with gifts from the heart. Why not veer from the typical presents you normally give him and try something new that he can brag about for years to come. Now the most discouraging task is to try and come up with that fabulously unique and perfectly stylized present. A tie? Heavens no… A wallet? Shame on you! You must think wider and broader. Let me help you; how about a gift to do with sports and his children.

Does dad have sons or daughters that are into sports? Maybe you are that son or daughter and have a couple cool shots of you playing soccer or tennis. And if you are the mom, how much fun would it be to get a picture of your son getting that winning touchdown. Once you find the perfect photo, the next thing you will want to do is get it ready to be printed and stretched on canvas like CanvasPress.com does.

Let me give you some ideas that might just inspire you. Open the kids winning photo into Photoshop so you may enhance it. For an old tradition look that you could use to compliment one of dads old sports photos, try removing all the color and adding a nice warm sepia look by adding equal amounts of yellow and red using the Color Balance tool. If your home is more modern, a spike of concentrated color using Hue Saturation would give your new sports picture an almost Andy Warhol feel. Want these neat effects but don’t have Photoshop? Have Canvas Press do it! For just $15 you can have the photo retouched to your liking.

Deciding on size and composition can sometimes be overwhelming, but no worries, Canvas Press can print your kids sports photos at almost any size. If you are thinking that you want a large, almost life size photo, just make sure that the resolution is high enough and if it is, you are set and ready to go. If you are unsure about the resolution of your photo, simply call Canvas Press and they can answer any questions you may be concerned with.

How awesome would dad’s new stretched canvas print look on the wall if you got one of each kid? You could print both in bight saturated colors mounted right next to each other, having one child in the middle of throwing a pass, while the other child is kicking a soccer ball. Can you imagine how proud a father on would be with the gift of his kids sports photos on the wall? How exciting for him to show off his Father’s Day presents to all the guests as they came to visit. There is no time like now to get started on this great Father’s Day present and don’t forget to contact CanvasPress.com with all your canvas needs!
