About this size

The 8 by 8 square is the dimensional companion to album art and Instax-style square photography. It is large enough to be a real wall piece, small enough to live on a desk or shelf, and the square format is forgiving for both photography and graphic design in a way that rectangles are not.

Frames at this size are available from most consumer frame shops, which keeps the gift-or-display path predictable. Custom matting can centre an even smaller square inside the 8 by 8 frame for a more formal presentation.

  • Album art
  • Social-ready art

Pro tips

  1. 1 A common Instax and album-art companion print size. Doubles as wall art or shelf display at the same dimensions.
  2. 2 Fits off-the-shelf square frames sold at art-supply and craft stores. Custom matting can frame smaller squares inside.
  3. 3 Square compositions tolerate centring better than rectangles do. The format itself supplies the geometry.
