How to Personalize Your Space: The Ultimate Guide to BYOD

Tired of generic, uninspiring homes that fail to capture your unique personality?   Are you longing for a space that truly reflects your unique personality and passions?  
 
If you’re nodding your head, you’re not alone!  

Too often, we settle for generic, pre-designed, mass-produced living space decors that fail to capture the essence of who we are. 

But what if you had the chance to escape the ordinary and bring your own designs to life? 

Introducing Neon Earth’s revolutionary BYOD (Bring Your Own Design) feature. A game-changer that empowers you to transform your living space into a masterpiece of self-expression.  

Breathe life into your artistic visions, whether they’re sketches, photographs, or wild ideas, and create a space that’s as unique as you are. With BYOD, you’re no longer confined to the limitations of pre-designed decor.  

Imagine adorning your walls, floors, and furniture with designs that are as unique as you are – a true reflection of your creativity and individuality. 

However, we understand that not everyone has access to high-quality cameras or knows how to prepare images for their designs. Common issues include low-resolution images, small sizes, and blurry or pixelated phone photos. 

Here’s how to snap and curate awesome images for your design so they print great on any product without losing their vibe. 

To get the best pictures for your design, you want to use high-quality images. Here’s how to ensure you’re starting with the best possible photos: 

Taking Photos with Your Phone: 

1. Use Good Lighting: Natural light is usually the best. Try taking photos near a window or outside during the day. 

2. Hold Steady: Keep your phone steady to avoid blurry pictures. Use both hands or rest your phone on a stable surface. 

3. Focus: Tap on your phone screen to focus on your subject before taking the shot. 

4. Avoid Low-Resolution Images: Blurry, pixelated, or low-resolution images don’t look good when enlarged. 

Editing Your Photos: 

If you need to enhance an image you already have, you can easily edit it on your phone or use a free online tool like Canva. 

On Your Phone: 

5. Built-in Photo Editing Apps: Most phones come with built-in photo editing apps. Open your photo gallery, select the image, and look for options like “Edit” or “Enhance.” 

6. Adjust Basic Settings: You can tweak brightness, contrast, and saturation. These adjustments can make a big difference in how your photo looks. 

7. Remove Unwanted Elements: Many apps allow you to remove blemishes or unwanted objects from your photos. 

Using Canva: 

8. Create a Free Account: Go to www.canva.com and sign up for a free account. 

9. Choose Your Design Type: Click “Create a Design” and select the type of design you need, like “Instagram Post” or “Flyer.” 

10. Upload Your Image: Click on “Uploads” and select the image you want to edit. 

11. Edit Your Image: 

• Adjust Settings: Use the “Adjust” tool to tweak brightness, contrast, saturation, and more. 
• Add Effects: The “Effects” tool lets you add filters, overlays, or textures for a unique look. 
• Advanced Edits: If needed, use tools like “Background Remover” to eliminate unwanted backgrounds or “Edit Image” for more detailed adjustments. 

Key Tips to Remember: 

• Start with a High-Quality Image: Make sure your image is clear and not pixelated. 
• Enhance Basic Settings: Adjust brightness, contrast, and saturation to make your image pop. 
• Add Filters or Effects: Give your image a unique style with filters or effects.
