Whether you want to dedicate a spot on your living room wall for your favorite photos or use your favorite designs to achieve the aesthetic you are envisioning, you don’t need to be an interior designer to effectively use canvas prints.

Thomas Edison once said “Vision without execution is hallucination.” This statement applies not just to invention, but to graphic design. One of the greatest strengths of graphic designers is the ability to first develop a concept and then execute it to make it real.
