There are a number of ways to get your task pictures.
Since the nature of the tasks you will be undertaking are personal to you generally speaking, we encourage you to take images of things that remind you of the task to be performed or the appointment or event to attend.
For example:
Take a picture of your pet cat/ dog etc., if you get a VET's appointment letter
Take a picture of the appointment letter itself and file the paper letter away safe to be used on the day of the appointment. (By doing this you are reducing clutter in terms of paper around the home, but Notice Frame serves as a visual reminder that enables you to still keep your appointment)
You can do the above for any notice, letter or card you receive, whether by post or by email or from any social media platform.
There are some notices that you receive that are very decorative and which you would like to be around the home, such as Wedding invitations.
Notice Frame allows you the option to supplement the reminders for such items by creating a separate task picture which can be of the wedding invitation itself or any other picture THAT REMINDS YOU OF THE EVENT.
You may however want a more generic image that is composed and readily available to hand. To that extent we would recommend that you visit the Pexels website, which is where the majority of the images used to showcase Notice Frame have been taken.
You can visit the Pexels website at the link below.
We have also provided some sample task pictures to get you started.
The app Notice Frame works like a digital noticeboard and version 1 of the app was designed to show images in portrait mode to fit the majority orientation of documents that might be displayed on a typical noticeboard
To that extent task pictures should be taken in portrait mode as this will allow them to occupy the portrait picture frame fully with minimal distortion.
The IOS version of Notice Frame does not have a Photo Edit library, so task pictures selected should be of the correct size and orientation. The Android version of Notice Frame does have a Photo Edit library, however this library is for editing both landscape and portrait images, so care has to be taken to select the correct picture size when cropping the task picture.

Step 2
