​What Is a PhotoGraphix Montage?

​

This Echelon Graphix Collections page presents a body of custom PhotoGraphix artwork across multiple themes, including heritage, patriotic, and personal work. Each piece reflects a structured, non-AI approach to visual composition—built to communicate story, identity, and lasting value through a single, unified image. A PhotoGraphix montage—often referred to as a photo collage—is built from multiple images, typically ranging from 8 to 50+ individual elements. Each image is carefully:

​

•  Clipped and isolated

•  Retouched and refined

•  Layered and structurally organized

•  Blended into a seamless, unified design

•  Crafted for long-term display and archival durability

​

With Echelon Graphix, every PhotoGraphix piece begins with an idea—something worth preserving, elevating, or bringing to life through a custom photo montage design. These collections represent a wide range of applications, from deeply personal tributes to high-impact visual storytelling, all created through a structured, non-AI design process developed over decades.

​

Each work is carefully composed for print, producing museum-quality custom artwork for commemorative, memorial, and patriotic or historical themes. The result is not a collection of images, but a single integrated piece of artwork—designed to read naturally, with depth, balance, and continuity.

​

The Process

Every project is developed in direct collaboration with the client. Artwork is proofed through email in structured stages, allowing for refinement and adjustment until the composition is fully approved. This ensures that the final piece reflects both the subject matter and the client’s vision with precision.

Each composition is built using a layered PhotoGraphix methodology—combining multiple photographic elements into a cohesive, high-resolution visual narrative designed specifically for print.

​

Once approved and completed, each piece is prepared for production using premium materials and formats, including gloss aluminum and archival paper, ensuring durability, color depth, and long-term display quality.

​

Materials & Presentation Options

Final artwork is available in multiple formats, each selected to support the intended presentation and long-term display of the piece:

​

• Gloss or matte paper prints for traditional framing and archival presentation

• Gloss aluminum (AlumiGraphix) for a durable, museum-grade finish with enhanced depth, color clarity, and visual impact

​

The aluminum format is highly recommended for permanent display. Each AlumiGraphix piece is produced using a sublimation process where the image is infused directly into the metal, creating a fade-resistant surface with exceptional detail and longevity. Every aluminum print includes a shadow-mounted frame system, ready for immediate wall installation.

​

Sizes & Scale

PhotoGraphix artwork is available in a range of sizes, typically from:

​

• 16×20 inches

• up to 40×60 inches

​

The scale of each piece is determined by the subject, composition, and level of detail required—allowing every design to be built proportionally to its intent. Larger formats are often recommended for complex compositions, where increased size enhances clarity, depth, and overall visual impact in both residential and display environments.​

​

Digital File Delivery

For clients who request it, the final high-resolution digital artwork file can be delivered via secure cloud transfer using WeTransfer. Each file is prepared for archival quality and print use, ensuring compatibility across professional printing platforms while maintaining the full resolution and integrity of the original PhotoGraphix composition.
