Sample: fine art photograph, 3/10. Front with a photo, behind without.
Gallery Minimal with a photo and without
The photo is shown whole (never cropped unless you choose to) and as large as the page allows, in portrait or landscape. Without a photo, the artwork title is set oversized in its place and the metallic line frames the title instead.
Shown in Slate and silver with a sample painting.
What it suits
Best for: Contemporary art and photography.
Gallery Minimal behaves like a page from an exhibition catalog: one quiet column of text and the image of the work as large as the sheet allows. With only a single fine frame line as ornament, the photograph or print does the talking.
An asymmetric catalog layout: a narrow column holds the heading, details, statement and signature, and a wide column gives the artwork image the most space. One offset picture-frame line in gold, silver or ink is the only ornament.
Contemporary art, photography, prints and design objects, where the work itself should speak first.

Tip: Upload the largest photo you have. The editor shows the effective print resolution at the size the photo is placed, and this design places it big.

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.
Prefer to write the details by hand? Download the blank printable PDF; it needs no account.
Design version 3. Reprints of an issued certificate keep the version they were issued with.
How the foil version differs
Only the offset frame line is foil, so coverage is low and the foil never touches the photo or any text. The title, names, edition and reference always print in ordinary ink.
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.

Can I use Gallery Minimal without a photo?

Yes, free forever. Designing needs no account; downloading the filled certificate needs a free account. Get the blank printable PDF on the free templates page.
Is Gallery Minimal good for photography?
Yes. A large image is the main part of the composition, and the details have room for print process, paper and image size.
