A White Ornate Frame and Gold R.I.P on Dusky Plum
A dusky plum card in landscape format holds a white ornate square frame with a photo of a smiling older man in a fur hooded coat on the left. On the right, R.I.P sits in large gold letters, In the MEMORY in white, a gold ornament, the name and tiny placeholder dates. It reads quickly at a glance, which suits a social media announcement.
A Landscape Card
The card is 6 x 4 inches, landscape. It suits photo prints and wide social media posts. The photo sits on the left and the words on the right, so the eye moves naturally from the face to the name.
Typos and Tiny Dates
The name line reads Name and Sername, so type the real name. In the MEMORY reads oddly, so you may change it to In Loving Memory. The dates are very small, so enlarge them for readability.
Preparing the Horizontal Card
- Type the real name.
- Consider changing In the MEMORY.
- Enlarge the dates.
- Add the photo.
- Print as a 6 x 4 photo.
A Landscape Photo Frame
The wide card suits landscape photos, such as a portrait taken outdoors. Crop the photo so the face sits in the centre of the square frame. A photo of the person outdoors or at a favourite place works especially well here, since the wide frame shows more of the setting.
What R.I.P Means
R.I.P stands for rest in peace, a phrase used in many Christian and secular traditions. Remove it if the family prefers other words.
Printing the Dusky Plum Background
Plum prints well on photo paper. Check that the gold letters stay bright against the dark background.
Wide Posts on Social Media
The landscape shape suits Facebook and Twitter posts announcing a loss.
Service Details on the Reverse
Print the service date, time and place on the back so the card doubles as an invitation.
Reading the Name Twice
Check the corrected name line carefully before printing.
Using the Horizontal Card
Print copies for the family.
