Template And Method For Predesigning And Installing Items On A Wall

摘要

A collage system and method enables creative predesign and arrangement of at least one item to form a collage. A plurality of predesign media enables digital predesign through dimensional and positional manipulation of at least one design boundary. The design boundary is the place holder for the at least one item. One of the predesign media is selected as the desired collage arrangement. The selected predesign medium is converted into a template surface that is printed with design boundaries that match the arrangement of design boundaries manipulated in the predesign medium. The template surface comprises horizontal and vertical lines that enable aligned positioning of at least one item inside an interior region of the design boundary. The template surface is mounted on a mounting surface. The mounting surface comprises a leveling line for appropriate alignment and mounting of the template surface. A frame encloses the item for visual enhancement.

主权项

1. A method for predesign and arrangement of at least one item on a surface, the method comprising:
providing a plurality of predesign media; selecting one of the plurality of predesign media; providing at least one design boundary, the at least one design boundary defined by an interior region and a peripheral region; manipulating a dimension of the at least one design boundary in relation to the selected predesign medium; manipulating a position of the at least one design boundary in relation to the selected predesign medium; converting the selected predesign medium to a template surface, the template surface having substantially the same arrangement for the at least one design boundary as the selected predesign medium, the template surface comprising at least one vertical line and at least one horizontal line; positioning the template surface on a mounting surface, the mounting surface comprising a leveling line; aligning, generally, the template surface with the leveling line of the mounting surface; arranging at least one item approximately in the interior region of the at least one design boundary; aligning, generally, the at least one item with the at least one vertical line and the at least one horizontal line of the template surface; fastening the at least one item to the template surface; providing a frame, the frame configured to enclose a predetermined region around the at least one item; and enclosing the predetermined region around the at least one item with the frame.
