Sample: original watercolor. Front with a photo, behind without.

Botanical Atelier with a photo and without

Your photo sits large in the center, above the details, and keeps its own proportions. Without a photo, the title grows and the details and statement spread into the space, so nothing looks missing. Landscape pages place the photo on the left with the details beside it.

What it suits

Best for: Botanical art, printmakers and artisan objects.

Botanical Atelier is the softest of the traditional designs. The engraved sprays stay in the top corners, so the page feels light and lets a watercolor, a drawing or a pressed-flower study sit in the middle without competing with the ornament.

Olive sprays with engraved leaves, berries and a blossom grow from the two top corners inside a fine double frame, with smaller engraved sprigs answering them at the foot. The heading, artwork title and details sit in a calm, centered column, and a single laurel medallion anchors the foot between the signature and the date.

Botanical art, printmakers, illustrators and artisan objects: work that suits a lighter, natural feel.

Tip: A portrait photo of the work fills the central frame best. If you only have a landscape photo, switch the page to landscape and the photo moves to the left with the details beside it.

Sizes, colors and finishes

Botanical Atelier comes in 3 paper sizes and 4 colorways. Every color below opens the editor in that variant; switching later keeps your text and edition.

Sizes

  • US Letter 8.5 × 11 in Portrait (default) or landscape
  • A4 210 × 297 mm Portrait (default) or landscape
  • A5 148 × 210 mm Portrait (default) or landscape

A5 is composed on its own rather than shrunk, so the type stays readable.

Finishes

Preview the metallic areas in gold, silver or no metallic (the design's ink color). The colorways pair with gold or silver by default, and you can switch.

Low ink keeps heavy fills and grounds off the page for home printers.

Downloads

Vector PDF with embedded fonts, PNG or JPEG, an SVG file, and the foil artwork for printer review. All free during launch, with a free account at download.

Design version 3. Reprints of an issued certificate keep the version they were issued with.

How the foil version differs

The foil version uses the outer frame line, the two olive branches in each corner (with leaves merged and gaps kept open), the leaf divider and the laurel medallion. The fine engraved leaves stay in ordinary ink, and your text is never foiled.

Foil artwork for printer review. The download is a ZIP with the full artwork, the ordinary-ink artwork and the foil layer as separate PDFs on the same page size and bleed, plus a preview and a plain-English note for your printer. Your printer confirms the foil, the paper and the tolerances before anything is made. Read how the foil files work.

Frequently asked questions

What sizes does Botanical Atelier come in?

US Letter, A4 and a separately composed A5. The A5 layout is redrawn rather than shrunk, so the type stays readable.

Can I use Botanical Atelier without a photo?

Yes. Vertical spacing rebalances so the details sit in the middle of the page. Nothing is left as an empty box.

Is Botanical Atelier free?

Yes, during launch. Later it will be one of the eight Studio designs; Gallery Minimal and Edition Rosette stay free forever. See what Studio will include.

Can I change the color of the botanical ornament?

Yes. Choose one of the color variants, a gold, silver or no-metallic finish, or the low-ink version for a home printer. The ornament stays the same drawing in every variant.
