RESONANT DECOR
Can I preview my artwork before ordering/printing? Top ↑
Once you have uploaded your audio file, we will send you an image showing your raw waveform before we apply our unique design, add the colors you chose, and then format the image to your desired size. If you would like to view your Resonant Decor before it is printed, just let us know. We will give you one opportunity to have slight adjustments made to the waveform (for additional adjustments or changes to the color scheme, we request that you purchase Custom Colors for an additional $50).
We will never print an image that does not look good. If we wouldn't hang it on our walls, we don't expect you to, either.
Does the picture move to sounds around it? Top ↑
Resonant Decor are static images printed on canvas, made from any sound you choose. They will not respond to ambient noise.
How long should my audio file be? Top ↑
Any sound that is 1-second long, up to the recommended four (4) minutes long maximum, will be the best to use to create your Resonant Decor. Depending on the audio, a longer file may be used. Any of these lengths will fit on one canvas without being too small or too condensed.
More importantly than the length of your audio, is the amount of "noise" and the volume levels of all the parts contained in the audio. For example, a song with a lot of different instruments that are all at about the same volume will create a dense and thick waveform. A short spoken word recording most often creates the most dramatic waveform.

Can I use a clip rather than a full song? Top ↑
Yes! In fact, a song clip may create a better looking Resonant Decor than a full song. You can clip the audio you want to use, then send that to us, or you can tell us the start and stop time of the clip you want to use and we will clip the audio for you.
Do I need to edit the audio/waveform first? Top ↑
No. We can do all editing for you. All you need to do is send us the audio and we will edit it as you instruct us. Additionally, we will make adjustments to the audio, so that the waveform looks good. Even with any editing, the waveform you see on your Resonant Decor will be unique and only created from the sound you send us.
Can I change my audio file after I have ordered? Top ↑
As long as your artwork has not already been sent to be printed, then we can change the audio used to create your personal art. Note that this will slow down the time it takes for you to receive your artwork.
What file types do you accept? Top ↑
You can upload the following file types: .mp3, .m4a, .wma, .mov, .mpg, or .avi. Any of these types we can use. If possible, .mp3 is the best option.
How large can my file be? Top ↑
Your audio file can be up to 10MB.
What is my personal Resonant Decor webpage? Top ↑
For every Resonant Decor that you order, we create a personal webpage for that particular piece of artwork. This page contains a small image of your artwork, the (playable) audio used to create that piece, as well as place for you to easily discuss the artwork/sound right there on the page.
We can also include a personal message on this page. At any time from when you order to after you have received your artwork, we can update this page to include your personal message.
STELLAR DECOR
What is Stellar Decor? Top ↑
Stellar Decor are our artistic representation of the stars and planets at an exact time, date, and place, printed on canvas. You give us the time, date, and place and we find the correct alignment of the stars and planets, then apply your chosen colors and format the artwork to the size you desire.
What date, time, and location can I use? Top ↑
You may use any time, date, and place that you want to use. We suggest using a moment in your life that was significant. Examples of types of events you can use include, but are not limited to, when you (or someone else) was born, when you were married, your first kiss, graduation, retirement, etc.
Can I use a future date? Top ↑
Absolutely! We use scientific software that accurately calculates the position of the stars and planets above a certain location, whether past, present, or future.
What does my personal info packet include? Top ↑
Your digital personal information packet includes two raw images of your Stellar Decor. The first shows the stars and planets in your artwork, labeled so that you can find them on your Stellar Decor. The second image shows the labels and lines of the constellations contained in your artwork. Following these two images is fun facts about each of the constellations in your Stellar Decor.
