Whether you are attending art school and looking to practice techniques, or you just like to create DIY projects in your spare time, or you want to stretch your artistic skills with a computer, the internet provides easy ways to do all of those things. One way to get creative is to use pictures of computer keyboards that you can find online. So what creative things can you do with computer keyboard pictures?

• Arts and crafts projects.

Basic picture frames are very affordable, but as soon you find the customized or decorated picture frames and see how much they cost, you can be tempted to recreate them on your own. Why not give it a try? You can create a fun computer keyboard picture frame easily by printing out pictures of the keyboard on a nice paper, cutting out letters, and pasting them neatly to the frame in a way that spells out anything you want to say. These picture frames can make great one-of-a-kind gifts.

• Practice your sketching skills.

You will need a computer keyboard layout picture, sketchbook paper, a pencil, and an eraser. You may think that it is easy to just draw a rectangle, and a series of smaller boxes and rectangles, but try it without a ruler. This is an essential exercise for any artist, getting the right proportions, spacing, and lines. You should spend a bit of time just studying computer keyboard pictures and drawing only one or two elements the first time around. As you get better at translating the geometric shapes and proportions to your sketchbook, you will be more confident in drawing a full representation of a computer keyboard.

• Digital applications and arts.

There are many things that you can use a picture of a computer keyboard for when you find and save a digital image. If you want to use one for your blog about office productivity, then all you need to do is find an image that is free to use under a creative commons license. You can create a digital collage, or a real collage by printing out pictures, or use pictures of the individual keys to spell things out on your website, or in a digital art piece. The only limit to what you can create is your own creativity.

Finding pictures of computer keyboards is easy, it is figuring out what to do with computer keyboard pictures that can be challenging. You can use these three suggestions, or come up with a fun DIY project all on your own.
