Steve Pacinelli and his fiancee Gretchen started Pictures Worth Printing, a photography business “primarily focusing on the love and relationships people share with one another.” One of their clients were looking for “a different way to display some of their wedding/engagement pictures.” Steve found fotoflōt and created this wall arrangement for them:

Here’s a mind bending panoramic display

Bob Miklosey contacted us to see whether we could handle a panoramic image over 50 inches wide. We told him our widest size is 30 inches, but some customers have split large images into two or more panels, mounted side-by-side. Bob ran with the suggestion and created this innovative fotoflōt arrangement:

Most images are split in the center, but Bob broke it into 10×30 and 10×20 fotoflōts, perfect for this image. Then he wrapped the image around a corner, a great way to bring a 3D effect to a panoramic display. This picture gives a better sense of the 3D effect:

How to display oversize images on fotoflōts

Right now our largest-size fotoflōt is 20″x30″. We get many requests for larger sizes, and growing numbers of customers are ordering multi-panel configurations when their size requirements exceed our current offerings.

The example below shows how a 40″x60″ image can be displayed on fotoflōt. The original image was cropped into four 20″x30″ segments. Each segment is mounted on a 20″x30″ fotoflōt and the four panels are mounted as shown.

While this approach can’t be used with every image, it’s surprising how often it not only works, but actually enhances the visual impact. So next time you have a project that involves a very large image, keep fotoflōts in mind.

Arrange squares with other sizes

Squares are highly versatile and can be combined with a wide range of other fotoflōts to create beautiful arrangements. The fall colors example below combines two 20″ squares with a vertical 15″x30″. You might experiment with a variety of combinations to get a feel for what’s possible, and what looks good to you.

Squares make cool arrangements

Square sizes are popular these days, for good reason. Either individually or in arrangements, they create a clean look that has staying power. They’re especially attractive in configurations of multiple fotoflōts because they work together harmoniously.

Here’s an example. The center image is a 20″ square, and the two on either side are 10″ squares. There’s also a 15″ square fotoflōt, and you can create an endless variety of configurations that work well, drawing on one, two or all three sizes.
