Andrew Porter (U.S. Civil War) Refrigerator Magnet - Design Description

This refrigerator magnet design pays homage to Brigadier General Andrew Porter, a key figure in the Union Army during the American Civil War. The artwork centers on visual representations of Porter's career and contributions, focusing on the essential roles he played in the conflict.

Visual Elements and Symbolism

The central imagery likely incorporates elements symbolizing Porter's expertise in artillery and his logistical command. Expect to see a cannon or artillery piece prominently displayed, perhaps accompanied by representations of ammunition crates or field maps, alluding to his role in artillery deployment and supply management. The design could incorporate a stylized rendering of the US Army insignia from the era.

To convey his administrative and organizational influence, the design might feature subtle details like the stacked formation of soldiers. These subtle references highlight his contributions to recruitment, training, and the overall operational efficiency of the Union forces. The color palette likely utilizes blues and grays, referencing the Union Army uniforms and the somber tone of the Civil War.

The design may subtly integrate his rank as a Brigadier General, perhaps by the display of stars or a simplified representation of his military uniform insignia. The overall design aims to visually capture Porter's behind-the-scenes impact, memorializing his commitment to the Union cause through his command and logistical prowess, not just battlefield bravery.

Die-cut refrigerator magnets made from flexible vinyl with a matte surface and a solid black magnetic backing. Available in five sizes, they stick strongly to metal while staying easy to move and reposition.

These magnets feel substantial but bend slightly when needed — a balance that helps them conform to smooth metal without cracking. The matte finish softens reflections under kitchen lighting so colors read clearly without glare. Because each piece is cut to the artwork’s outline, the result looks neat and thoughtfully finished.

The black backing delivers consistent contrast on shiny surfaces, and printing uses modern, low-impact inks that keep tones lively through everyday handling. They are built to be handled, moved, and displayed repeatedly without losing form or adhesion.

  • Material: flexible vinyl with a black magnetic backing for reliable holding power.
  • Finish: matte coating that reduces glare and preserves color depth.
  • Printing: full-color, eco-conscious inks for crisp details and vibrant hues.
  • Durability: designed for frequent use on smooth metal surfaces; resists peeling and warping.
  • Precision: die-cut edges follow the artwork; extremely fine islands or slivers may blend during cutting.

Perfect for refrigerator doors, magnetic whiteboards, steel lockers, or metal filing cabinets. They’re also handy for displays at events or temporary signage where you want a neat, movable solution.

  1. Prep: remove dust and grease with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth, then allow the surface to dry completely.
  2. Place: set the magnet flat, press from the center outward to make full contact and remove any trapped air.
  3. Reposition: lift gently and move if needed — avoid folding or pinching along the same tight crease repeatedly.

Heads-up: very intricate artwork can look slightly different after die-cutting; tiny, closely spaced pieces may join together in production.

To keep magnets looking their best, dust them off with a soft microfiber cloth. For smudges, use a barely damp cloth and blot dry immediately — don’t soak the magnet or use abrasive scrubs.

Avoid harsh chemicals and scouring pads, which can dull the matte surface or damage the backing. With simple, gentle care your magnets will stay crisp and retain their hold for a long time.

Sizes are listed by the magnet’s longest side. For example, a 3″ magnet is three inches across its largest edge. This gives a consistent reference when choosing the right fit for your space.

The die-cut follows your artwork for a close-fitting border; slight variation is normal with very detailed silhouettes, but each piece is finished to look tidy and professional.
