About this service

A photo can't be screen printed, cut, or engraved as-is, but it can be turned into a vector illustration. We interpret the photo into flat color areas or line art, choosing a style that suits how it will be used: a few bold colors for screen printing, a single color for engraving, or a detailed multi-tone illustration for digital print. The result keeps the subject recognizable while working in production.

How we build it

  • Photo interpreted into flat colors or line art
  • Style matched to the production method
  • Number of colors controlled for printing costs
  • Delivered as editable vectors
