Designed in a portrait style, this nostalgic gift may contains endless information somewhat that will take your imagination and creativity and will remind you of the fun memories that you might have long forgotten.

Not only you can use this Poster as a birthday gift or party ornament, but you can also frame the poster and hang it up as a home decoration, or use the poster as a birthday or anniversary photo prop. Anniversaries are a special occasion which should be celebrated with a very personalized gift. This Poster is an excellent way to express the feelings or share the memory.

Every person has a number of favorite places or activity that they like to do together. They can be a restaurant, park, sport or anything like this. So, you can add all those things to your poster. Try experimenting with the different border options, adding text and highlights, various shapes, unique Designs, etc. This way, you can put emphasis on specific poster if you’d like them to stand out from the rest of the posters.

Before I jump into the making, I would like to say that all the color and design elements are chosen by me only. So, it's up to you that you use the same color and elements or choose your own customized color scheme and design shapes and elements. Its totally customizing oriented.

Here, I have used a White chart paper as base or backboard for our Poster. After that I Have added another layer of colored paper as different slides.

Basically here I used sky-Blue and Maroon colored glossy papers to make 3 sections in the poster. So, that different themes can be used in different sections.

Cut Design Elements

Then is the time for choosing the pattern and design shapes and elements. Here I choose few theme related to dance, prosperity, celebration, freedom, royalty, etc.

You can choose your own, depending upon the person and occasion you are going to give.

Then, take print out of these images and cut precisely using a sharp cutter.

I found these images on Google. You can also search for more.

Note : Some of the images that I used are Stock images that may be subject to copyright, so do not use them commercially.

Making the Top Slide

Now is the time for making the 3 slides.

In the Top slide I marked two Designed horses coming from both the sides that has their front foots risen upwards.

Then I have written "Happy Anniversary" letters in the middle of them.

Again, cut the markings precisely and then attach the paper slide to the top of the board using some Glue-stick or some Fevicol.

Making the Middle Slide

Now is the time for making the Middle Slide.

Repeat the process of first slide to the next two slides.

Again, mark the design elements of these Dancing girls and the Dragon and cut the markings precisely and then attach the paper slide to the Middle of the board using some Glue-stick or some Fevicol.

Making the Bottom Slide

Now is the time for making the Bottom Slide.

Repeat the process for the last slide.

Again, mark the design elements of these Champagne bottle and glasses and the Dancing couple.

Then, cut the markings precisely and then attach the paper slide to the Bottom of the board using the same Glue-stick or Fevicol.

Making Slide Borders

After attaching all the slides, now is the time for adding some border to the slides.

For these I have used some Black colored paper and made a 1 inch wide border throughout the Poster. Now, it looks more clearer and separated along.

Adding Supports

Next, I glued a long piece of "Sun-board" sheet at the Bottom Back of the Poster. This will hold the Poster straight and prevent the Poster from Bending or Rolling.

Making the Hanging System

Next, our poster is almost ready. All we need is to add a structure to hold the Poster or Hang the Poster to the wall.

For this I have used a piece of Metal rod. It is duration but not so much heavy as well.

Then I wrapped it with some Black paper and inserted through the Top part of the Poster.

Next, I added some thin wire at both the ends of the metal rod and attached a "String" to it. So, our Hanging mechanism is ready too.

Finishing Touches

Lastly, I gave some glowing effect to the Design elements so that it get some stand out look.

Here, I have used some yellow and Neon colored sketch pens to draw few lines around the corners of the letters and shapes and all the design elements.

Finished Product
