A twin peaks photo slate: a plate with a twin-peaked top edge, printed in full colour with your photograph. Three sizes are made. Send the original file rather than a chat copy.
The top edge rises to two points with a dip between them, which divides the upper half of the plate into two. That suits a photograph with two subjects in it, or two separate pictures side by side, in a way no other shape here does. A single central subject fights the outline rather than fitting it.
It is a mountain profile, and the plates are bought accordingly: for people who walk, climb or live somewhere with a skyline worth naming. Against a landscape photograph the cut edge and the horizon in the picture do the same thing, which is the effect the shape is after.
The photograph is printed in full colour onto the slate face rather than engraved into it. A charcoal ground takes the glare out of a picture, so colours arrive deeper and softer than they look on a screen, with the riven texture of the stone visible through the image. On a mountain photograph that suits the subject about as well as anything could. Slate splits along its own grain, which is why a peaked profile cut into it reads as rock rather than as a novelty outline.
The two peaks take the top corners and dip in the middle, so anything important along the upper edge will be lost. A photograph with sky at the top is the obvious fit, and a portrait with a head near the top edge is not.
Send the full-size file rather than a reshared copy. It stands unaided on its flat base, or sits in a plate stand.
The plates are bought by people who walk, climb or live somewhere with a skyline worth naming, which is why most of them arrive with a landscape rather than a portrait. Against a mountain photograph the profile stops reading as a decorative outline and starts reading as part of the picture, which is the whole argument for the shape.
Printing here is sublimation rather than engraving. If an original looks flat, Colour Enhancement costs $1.99 per image.
