A rectangular slate plate printed in full colour with your photograph and a birthday design, in four rectangular sizes. It is the version that keeps a party photograph whole. A dry cloth is all the cleaning it needs. Colour Enhancement is an optional extra, $1.99 per image. Nothing on the face lifts, because the ink is in the surface.
Most birthday gifts are consumed, worn or put away. A slate plate is neither useful nor disposable: it goes on a shelf and stays there, which makes it a marker of a particular year rather than a present for a particular day. That suits a milestone birthday considerably better than an ordinary one.
The four sizes have different proportions rather than one shape at four scales, so the photograph decides which to take. A standing figure suits the tall large, and an ordinary portrait sits comfortably on the medium.
The picture is printed in full colour onto the slate face rather than engraved into it, which is what allows a party photograph with a dozen colours in it to work at all. The ground is charcoal, not white. Light areas settle into it and colours come out quieter.
Each plate is split, not sawn. Edges come out riven and no two match. It is heavy enough to stand unaided. A plate stand angles it towards the room.
A birthday design carries a number, which fixes the plate to a particular year. Send the camera original. Chat copies come back softened.
Unlike a card, this is an object that stays out after the day, which is the reason to spend any thought on the photograph at all. A picture taken at the party itself dates the plate twice over; one taken earlier in the year, of the person rather than the occasion, is usually the version still on a shelf five birthdays later. The heart version of the same design is warmer and crops considerably closer, and the two are worth comparing before ordering either.
A number on a plate is permanent, so the choice of shape is as well. Both are printed on the same charcoal slate and come from the same stock. The photograph is sublimated onto the slate face.
