Template size
To give the most natural, organic finish,
the templates have been painted by hand
with a flat-tipped artist’s brush. They
are all sized to A3, and the techniques
employed to add images is consistent
throughout, so once you’ve created one,
just repeat the process with a different
template to create more triptychs.
If you want a smaller image, such as
A4, follow the technique as described,
then change the dimensions in Image

sequence, offer three different
angles on the same subject or
unite images around a common
theme like a particular colour,
shape or location, a triptych is a great way to
present your photos. Not only do you give your
viewer individual shots to dwell on, you also
serve up a connection between them, and this
can be as obvious or as subtle as you like.
When you’re deciding which images you
want to include, it’s often best to select the
picture that will occupy the central frame, as
this will usually be the dominant one of the trio.
Once you’ve found your shots, making a
creative triptych is easy, thanks to the large
selection of templates included free with this
issue. The unique thing about this selection
is that all the triptych templates have been
hand-painted then scanned in: this means
that your end results will be highly organic
and artistic, and will feature all the brush
strokes and broken edges that only hand-
painted frames will give. So let’s take a look at
how you can put your templates to good use...W
