Why texts on Wall Art? Instead of printing just your photos on canvas, an additional text can give a Wall Art more dramatic, funny or emotional feeling.

A text can even become a real statement for your life if you formulate it by yourself or use a quotation that is of certain significance to you.

You can add a text to an image or even just print the text on the blank material. Using the diverse editing tools for your text will help you make it a statement piece on your walls.

• Statements of any kind: a funny saying, a quotation or a motto for life is especially good if it stands alone or with a suitable image.
• Year numbers:if you create a family photo, consider adding the birth dates or the current year. On a romantic couple's portrait, the wedding date would also suit.
• Descriptions: add a small description to your Wall Art - this can be a unique title or your name as a photographer.

artboxONE shows you how unique and stylish a text on your Wall Art can be. Here you can find cool murals, fashion articles and more - all are designed by talented artists in different styles.

Our Wall Art Tips explain how you can further design your piece and make a unique artwork with your favourite photos.

If you design the canvas with the Pixum Photo World Software, you can also add texts, cliparts and filters to your liking.

Gift Voucher

The classic use of a mural is decorating the living room, hallway, kitchen or elsewhere. But especially smaller Wall Art sizes (such as 20×30 cm) are also perfect as personalized gift vouchers for the birthdays of your loved ones. Add a text field with a personal dedication and the content of the voucher to your mural. Use your imagination and add a secret message or a hint so that the person will have to guess what the gift voucher is for. For those of us who find the standard gift vouchers simply dull.

Mood Board for the Next Holiday

Got an amazing shot from your recent holiday? Get it printed as Wall Art to get the sunny vibes on a rainy day. Or, create a photo collage of your best snaps for some inspiration on your next holiday trip. Use text boxes to add more details to the shot: in the case of landmarks or historical buildings, this could be the architect, the year of completion and, of course, the name of the building - or in the case of a landscape panorama, the region where you've taken the picture.

Name Your Shots

You may also want to have a more abstract photo or drawing for your mural. Why not give your artwork a creative title and include your initials or handwritten name? That way, you can give your Wall Art a personal and artistic touch.

Travel Report

Besides a title you can of course also add longer texts to your Wall Art - just set a matching font size to make sure the text has enough room to impress the viewer. One possibility is, for example, to turn a nice memory of the place where the picture has been taken or the journey that has turned out to be a true adventure into a short story or a poem. Keep those memories forever on your new wall print embellished in a curved font.
