Summary:A method is provided that uses commercially available drawing software to manipulate two dimensional images to match all horizontal objects in the image to be wrapped around a tapered or frusto-conical cup. The method allows a novice user with no graphic design experience to create a satisfactory image that avoids the unrealistic "tenting" distortion effect caused by the taper of the cup. The method includes altering the image and transforming it so that the horizontal elements maintain their integrity despite the geometry of the cup. With this method, all horizontal objects within the design appear in the cup as horizontal, even though the image has been manipulated to be non-horizontal in a two dimensional version of the image. In one aspect, the image can be personalized with color by the user. In some embodiments, such as with the use of transparency film, the art work can create a stained glass or painted stainless steel effect.
