A couple of weeks ago I noticed on Twitter that canvas printing company CanvasDesign were looking for bloggers to review one of their canvases.  I immediately got in touch as I’m hoping to move in with my fiancé soon, and am currently looking for nice things to hang on our walls, and this seemed like the perfect opportunity!  CanvasDesign were happy to send me a canvas, and I knew exactly what I wanted it to have on it…  My favourite photo of my fiancé and I taken at our recent Masters graduation.

CanvasDesign asked me to send them a high quality image (around 500KB), so I did, and within 48 hours the canvas was on my doorstep.  I have to admit, I was VERY surprised when I received the canvas as the packaging was HUGE, which I wasn’t expecting, and I was lucky enough to be sent a massive 30″ x 20″ canvas.  And it is beautiful.

The quality of the canvas is very high as it is made from 100% cotton, and it comes on a solid, sturdy pine frame.  The back is also nicely finished, and looks incredibly neat and professional, and the image hasn’t suffered at all from being enlarged.  Rather, it looks clear and vibrant.

A portrait canvas of this size usually costs just £29.99, which is ridiculously cheap, especially considering the cost of graduation photography prints!  It was well over £50 for a standard pack at my graduation, which I couldn’t afford, so I’m so pleased that I now have this memento of the day.  So, if you have a relatively good camera, and a friend or relative who’s good at photography (my dad took this picture), using CanvasDesign would be a great way to save money on photos of special events.  Imagine how lovely a wedding, anniversary or new baby photo would look on a canvas like this!

Overall, I am so, so happy with my canvas.  I can’t get over how big it is, the quality is amazing, the service was spot on, and I even got a free hanging kit with my order.  I love my canvas, and it’s going to take pride of place in my new home, but for now it’s hanging in my bedroom and it looks fab.
