At this point, you are able to personalize nearly everything you bring into your house, which makes it increasingly difficult to be truly creative. The KodakGallery and Shutterflies of the world offer an amazing, though surprisingly similar, array of products (with a few unique, proprietary exceptions). The creativity comes when a non-photo based company finds a way to let you personalize their products.
One recent addition to this "ultra creative" list comes from M&Ms®. Sure, we've all seen the personalized notes that can be printed, but you may now also print your picture on the bite-sized chocolates. You begin by choosing a base color from an extended list including cream, electric green, and light purple (note: be sure to choose a light color that the black ink will show up on!) and then upload your image.
They offer these tips for successful candy-making:
- Lighting: Adjust your lighting to avoid shadows on the face or background.
- For Individual or Couple Photos: We recommend that the photo be captured from slightly above the top of the head to the middle of the chest. For a photo of two people, faces must be cheek to cheek or very close together to fit on your M&M'S®.
- Composition: Please ensure that all of the face(s) are in the picture and not cropped
- Background: For best results, the background should be plain white or off-white. The priority is that hair should be a contrast to the background. It is preferable that photos do not include glasses or hats.
