The brief

The challenge

Ordering a framed photo usually means a trip to a shop or a fiddly website, and it's hard to picture how a photo will look in the frame.

Our approach

What we designed

We turned it into a short, friendly journey: pick a frame from themed collections, add and crop a photo, see it in the frame, then pay one price that includes postage. A crafted look with striped wallpaper, hanging frames and a wooden sign makes it feel like a gift shop.
