A photo calendar lies on a table with wrapping paper sheets, a wrapped gift, a candle and a bowl of nuts. The December calendar page shows the photo of two laughing women in winter clothes and the words "welcome to adventure".

This particular design relies on three elements: beautiful, large-scale photographs, strong colours and words from the heart. A simple design gives all these elements space to breathe.

For a consistent overall look, pick one or two dominant colours from your main photo and use it to match any text and clipart you use. This will ensure that each page looks harmonious and carefully considered.

Use clipart as a background

For a more eyecatching and professional-looking design, try mixing two different fonts.

If there are parts of your photo that are 'busy', such as a cluttered, crowded backgroud, place a piece of simple clipart, such as a heart, there. Next, arrange your text on top. This keeps all the focus on the foreground of your image, and you'll have a space for text that's clean and easy to read.

Match the colour of your chosen clipart shape to the overall colour of your page design and use a contrasting colour for your text - white or black are usually the best choices.

Experiment with symbols

Put emphasis on your words and add meaning by making use of clipart. You can find hundreds of examples in the Creator Software and the online editor, as well as the Boots Photo app.

In the Creator Software and the online editor, you'll find our versatile selection of clipart in the editor navigation panel.

If you decide to use illustrations in your wall calendar, choose clipart in colours that match or complement your text, photo and overall page design.

Heartfelt words

Use positive and inspiring messages to make your friend smile every month.

Every friendship is unique. What is it that makes yours extra special? Celebrate your support for each other throughout the years with a cheerful note - "here's to us!".

What do you appreciate most about your best friend? Try to describe their character in a few words.

Happiness shared is happiness doubled

Use your favourite photo from an unforgettable time together for the front page of your calendar.

For the perfect finishing touch to your gift, choose a memorable photo of you and your best friend to showcase on the cover. After all, this moment of happiness marks the beginning of another twelve months full of laughter, adventure and good times together.

Most of all - have fun designing and giving the gift of joy this year.
