In a first embodiment, a photograph is held between two panels of a multi-panel display device and viewed through a die cut in the outer panel. The outer panel has graphics printed around the die cut in such a way as to give the appearance of interaction between the subject of the photograph and the scene depicted in the graphics. In second and third embodiments, the display device is in the form of an album containing multi-layered pages which hold photographs between their layers. The photos are viewed through die cuts in the outer layers of the pages. The pages have graphics printed on their pages which give the appearance of interaction between the subjects of the photos and the graphics printed on the pages. The die cuts and graphics can be formed such that the face of a subject of a photograph appears in place of the face of a character depicted in the graphics. An audio storage device can be included to deliver an audio message to accompany the photos and graphics. The proper method for taking the photographs is included with the display devices to ensure proper size of the images of the subjects for optimum display.
