Spring has brought many changes to Pixart Design.  We have entirely updated our website recently and I'd be thrilled to have you visit!  We are also excited to announce two new products available through our site:

Digital Photo Books and Photo DVD Movies.

There is something magical about thumbing through an old shoebox of yellowed photographs or meandering through the pages of your own baby album.  I am spellbound by the sepia world of my grandparents and can't help making comparisons between family cheekbones and eyes.  Every photo has a memory or tells a story. 

This photography thing caught on through the generations - virtually every family I know takes photographs, and we've come a long way with the technology.   Although digital is today's way, it has a dark side!  So many photos taken by our digital generation sit on memory cards or hard drives and are never printed - leaving our kids in a kind of digital dark age.   Digital files are left vulnerable to being wiped away by a computer virus or malfunction, or to be eventually rendered unusable as technology advances and file formats are replaced by the next best thing.  The faces of an entire generation are at risk of being erased!   Even the acid in that popular-brand marker we write on our back-up cd's with will eventually destroy them.  (You can and must purchase acid free/archival markers for this purpose!)

You can save your family from the digital dark age by printing those photographs!

This is one of the many reasons why we are so excited by our new Photo Books and DVDs.   All you need is an Internet connection and your digital images.   It's easy and fun - and best of all - we love the results!   You can even add your own text and captions to memorialize the special events in your life!  You don't have to be techno-savvy to create beautiful layouts.   And - it's simple to order duplicate copies for family and friends. 

Photo Books are professionally printed in full colour on glossy paper and you have several cover choices ranging from photo soft cover to a canvas, suede, leather or photo hard cover.  It's amazingly affordable.  An 8.5 x 11 softcover book with 20 pages is only $U.S.12.95.   4x6 "Brag Books" start at $U.S.6.95.  You pick the number of photos on each page - a 20 page album can attractively hold 100 photos or more.   (Not enough pages?  Additional pages are available.) 

DVDs hold up to 50 images with music options, special effects, and your text for only $U.S.15.95.

You do not require a membership to try out the software, and you can save a copy of your book or dvd to work on at a later date.

We are also happy to offer a CUSTOM DESIGN option.  If you need help scanning precious photos or documents and require assistance making an album please inquire about our custom services.  Often a family has only one set of heritage photos, and duplicating those photographs into a beautiful album would be a priceless gift for other family members.

I invite you to visit our new website where you will find plenty of information about these exciting new products. 

Please freely circulate this newsletter to anyone who may have interest.
