PhotoStory Classroom Edition
Have your class, club or team make a keepsake book!
Now your class, club or team can create a full color, keepsake photo book. Like IlluStory, you write and illustrate your own book that we typeset and bind for you, but with PhotoStory you can also include photos in your book, as well as many other additional options. You begin by buying Project Materials that include every thing you need for making an archival quality book, including markers, tape for adhering photos, and a postage-paid envelope for returning your materials to us. The Standard Book Production Price, which is paid when the materials are sent in, includes 15 typeset book pages plus title and dedication pages, but you have options for making almost any type of book up to 50 pages (two sided) in length. We can type more words than the 300 included, or you can type or hand write them yourself. Your cover photo and book title are laminated onto your choice of seven cover colors. Options for multiple reproductions and rush service are also available.
Classbooks make terrific gifts for teachers, coaches and volunteers! Extra copies of a book can be purchased at the time of initial production and/or later from the Repurchase Form that is returned with every order of a finished book. Better still, the more you buy, the cheaper they get! Classbooks are also terrific for silent auctions... you won't believe the price families will pay for these books.
Materials include 2 cover pages (one for mistakes), 50 book pages (15 book pages are included in the book production standard price), a set of 10 Creations by You Markers, tape for adhering photos, a post paid return envelope, instructions, and return order form, and the price of one Hardback Book. The return order form is used to purchase extra book copies, special options, and your return shipping fee. The finished book made from these materials is 8.5" by 11" in size.
My Masterpiece
Turn Your Drawing into a Work of Art!!
With My Masterpiece, your original artwork is enlarged, printed on a variety of special mediums and placed into a real wooden frame. Or choose to have the artwork made into a Museum Poster - the choice is yours! The kit includes special Art Pages, watercolor markers, easy-to-follow instructions and a postage paid envelope for mailing in your drawing for production. Or send a photograph that we'll size to fit and format in either a frame or poster. You can also make your keepsake entirely online in our Internet Production facility using our Internet Drawing and/or Photo Tools. You can choose Portrait or Landscape orientation for either Masterpiece format.
In just a few short weeks when the professionally produced Masterpiece is returned, your young artist will experience a sense of accomplishment and pride like none other! The entire family can enjoy the attractively presented artwork for a lifetime.
For framed art, we enlarge your artwork to 11" x14" and print it onto Archival Quality paper, Simulated Canvas, or, for an extra charge, real Canvas. Frames are offered in your choice of Red, Blue, Black or Gold leaf and include a nameplate that features the artist's name, artwork title and date. The Museum Poster is a large 24" x 18" and is printed on heavy glossy poster stock and includes the same artist information in your choice of three different exhibit styles and font colors. Many other exciting options are offered such as a Plexiglas cover for the frame and an oil painting effect for photographs.
Extras can always be ordered utilizing different options and are a terrific way for Mom or Dad to decorate their office. Production time is approximately three weeks and rush service is available.
