Pictures?

Post by Kaitydid »

Where would you get the pictures to send to the celebrity? Do you just print them off and laminate them or something?

You can find pretty good photos using Google Images. Also a good way to get pictures to send is taking them from magazines etc. You can buy normal photopaper but if you want a good quality, I recommend on putting a bit more money into this.

I use glossy paper and find a good size pic on google and use a program called PhotoFiltre to resize or fit it to the paper. {up}

Magazines are good, but I try online too. http://www.allmoviephoto.com is a good place to look, or you can just google the person's name.

I send them to a print place like WalMart or Sams. They are pretty cheep when you buy a 5X7, but 8X10s are around $1.50 USD

Do they turn out pretty good when you get them printed at Walmart or like Walgreens?

I they are very good but you have to be careful to get enough pixels in the image. I strive for larger than 500px.

Hope this helps. {up}
