How to order
The best way to process a late, new or additional product order is to utilise our ’schools/parents late/added’ order shop site here.
See below information for those who want to scan or photograph their child’s drawing.
Below are the general tips for photographing or scanning of your child’s added/late/new drawing;
1. Tips for photographing children's drawing/art:
Set up by a window if you can. Don't block your light though – don't stand between your light source and your art piece.
Brightness– If you have a DSLR, use the highest f-stop possible. If shooting on a white surface, up the exposure comp/setting as well.
If using a phone camera, you must photograph flat on and squared up and use the highest resolution setting to photograph and send.
2. Tips for scanning children's drawing/art:
Place artwork face down on scanner. Scan at a resolution of at least 300 dpi, preferably higher, taking great care to align the artwork squarely.
Ensure you send a squared up file and at the highest resolution possible.
