The preview is what gets printed. Add your photos: they take their place in the layout, in the order you arrange them. The title, signature and date can be changed.
Twelve baby photos, one a month, on a twelve-hour dial, with the name and the dates in the middle. Four papers, in colour or black and white. Printed to order in Aveyron, A4 to 70 × 100 cm, or as a printable file. The preview shows exactly what is printed.
First the object — medium, size, frame — then its content, which you watch take shape in the preview.
Ready to give: printed in our Estaing workshop and shipped within 48 h, with an optional frame on A4 and 30 × 40.
For a last-minute gift: the print file, €8.90, arrives by link the same day — PDF and PNG at 300 dpi, all five sizes.

Step 4 of 4: Create our poster photos · title · style
Which photos to choose? Eight ideas
- Clear, sharp photos taken in daylight.
- Vary the shots: close-up faces, a landscape, a detail (a hand, an object).
- Most cells are square: a square or nearly square photo is cut without losing anything, a very long one loses its sides.
- Keep faces in the middle of the picture: a cropped photo keeps the top of a face, not the edge.
- Put them in the order of your story: the first takes the first place, the last the last.
- Mix eras freely: black and white brings together photos that have nothing in common.
- A few good photos beat many blurry ones: a small photo may look soft on a large format.
- A screenshot keeps its black or grey bars: crop it before adding it.

Full description
A baby’s first year on a dial: twelve round photos, one a month, placed like the twelve hours of a clock — the twelfth month at the top, where noon strikes — with the name in the middle. A first-birthday gift, or from parents to themselves.
You upload twelve photos all at once and arrange them in the order of the months: the first is month one, the last is month twelve, which takes the place of noon. Each photo carries its number. In the middle you write the name and the dates; the title is yours too. Four papers, in colour or in black and white. What you see is exactly what is printed; your photos are only used to make the poster and are deleted thirty days after dispatch.
- 250 g matte paper, pigment inks, printed to order.
- Five sizes: A4, 30 × 40, 40 × 60, 50 × 70 and 70 × 100 cm.
- Optional wooden frame on A4 and 30 × 40, black, white or natural.
- Or the printable file: all five sizes, each as a PDF and a 300 dpi PNG, by download link.

How it works
- You add your photos
All at once, from your phone or your computer. They take their place in the layout, in the order you arrange them; you can remove them, move them forward or back. While some are missing, the preview says so.
- You write what goes around them
A title, a signature, a small line (a date, a place). Four styles, in colour or in black and white. The preview is exactly what gets printed.
- We print in Aveyron
To order, on 250 g matte paper: in our Aveyron workshop, whatever the size, and every poster is checked there before it ships. Or you receive the download link for the file by e-mail.

Frequently asked questions
What does the poster show?
Twelve round photos laid out on a dial, like the twelve hours of a clock: the twelfth month at the top, the first at one o’clock. Each photo carries the number of its month. In the middle, the title, the name and the dates. Four paper styles, and photos in colour or in black and white.
Do I really need twelve photos?
Yes, exactly twelve: a dial with nine hours is no longer a dial, and an empty space would be printed. The site asks for the missing photos before the poster goes into the basket. If you only have a few, the grid or the heart of photos adapt to their number.
In which order do I arrange the photos?
In the order of the months: the first photo is month one (at one o’clock), the twelfth is month twelve (at the top). You move them forward or back with a button, and the number follows.
Which photos should I choose so that faces can be seen?
Clear photos with faces in the middle: a photo that fills a cell is cut to its shape, a little above the centre. A cell is most often square; a square or nearly square photo is cut without losing anything, a very long one loses its sides. Mix wide shots and close-ups, and put them in the order of your story.
Can all the photos be in black and white?
Yes, it is a choice: black and white applies to all the photos at once, and the preview shows it straight away. It brings together photos taken at different times or with different cameras.
Which size should I choose, and can I see the poster before ordering?
A4 is enough for a few photos; beyond a dozen, a 30 × 40 or larger lets each one be read. A4 and 30 × 40 are also available framed. The preview follows every photo you add and every keystroke, and it is exactly what gets printed: the photos, their order, the texts, the style.
What happens to the photo I upload?
It is only used to make your poster. It stays private, is never published or used as an example, and is deleted thirty days after the order is dispatched (or after purchase, for the print-ready file).
