Cheer Up A Friend With A Canvas Print

A canvas print can be many things, from an office decoration, a gift for a loved one or a way to build a photo wall, but we think it’s also a great way to cheer up a friend who’s having a hard time.  

Let’s take a look at some of the ideas we’ve come up with to help turn that frown upside down!

There are loads of ways to use a canvas print to cheer up a friend, and, like always, we encourage you to use your imagination along with some of the great internet resources to produce something creative.  

If you’re struggling to come up with ideas, however, we’re here to help! Why not try something like...  

Use stock sites like www.stock.adobe.com/uk to find happy photos of things that your friend loves – it may be related to good times you’ve shared together, a special location that reminds them of a holiday or someone close to them, or even just a photo of something joyful that’ll make them smile when they see it.

Use stock sites (or your own camera skills!) to find some great background images that’ll mean something to your friend, but this time add some text in Photoshop. The beauty of doing this yourself is that you can write anything you like – maybe a favourite meme, joke or pun, or even an inspirational quote that encourages happiness. It’ll mean even more if you add a little personal note at the bottom.

Get all of their friends together for a fun photoshoot. Maybe have a couple of drinks to relax everyone and go to the park to take some silly photos of the whole group laughing and joking around. You can use one of these as the central photo in a collage created from old memory photos of the friendship group. There’s nothing that cheers us up more than thinking about great memories with the people we love.

Repeat the above exercise, but with your friend’s family instead. You may or may not have to tone down the silliness, but the overall emotive result should be the same. 

These are just a few ways you can use a canvas print to cheer up someone close to you – and if you can think of anything else that might work, we’d love to hear from you!
