3. You could make a collage. Mix all different sizes, shapes, colors into different patterns. Offset them, leave gaps, fit them together like a mosaic. Very artsy.
this option will look the best as far as hanging...
if possible (and i did this once to help me) print out colored pictures of each poster and make them all to scale... then make a scale version of each wall... thatll make it extra easy for you to move each poster around and find how they all work best... like a little puzzle
Well....As promised, here are some new pictures of my posters. I have never been much of a photographer, so hopefully, they are okay for starters!
All total so far, there are 89 framed prints. I am sure I didnt get them all in the pics, but you get an idea of what I am dealing with now! I am in awe of them right now. The bright colors, the various shapes and sizes, the different tours, countries and venues! I am so glad that I decided to step up and do this.
So now comes the fun part. Deciding how to go about putting them up and where. If ANYONE has any suggestions, I am open to them all. That said, if anyone would like to fly in or drive to WA State to help me, maybe we could make a weekend of it. I will even help with airfare! Serious inquiries drop me a pm!
Anyhow, hope you enjoy them so far, there will def be more in the weeks to come!
does using mattes help keep the poster from being damaged or are they purely for looks?
mattes help keep the poster off the glass... but that can also be done by spacers which do the same thing but out of sight along the edges... which is important because over time being against the glass causes the colors to fade

scott, I have 2 ideas:
1) Stealing from the seinfeld episode where George creates a little model using a shoe box of a room with him and his former fiance's estate executives, I would do the same, but of your room and little posters.
2) Invite the band to Spokane and personally have them hang them up with you. That many posters - they should be there at the least!

So, say I go to bigpop. How can I isolate the pictures for printing? That is a great idea, but you are talking to someone who is VERY technically challenged when it comes to computer stuff!
My friend was going to see Eddie last night. Since he was in Vegas, I gave him 5 Grand to gamble with. I told him I wanted it all to go on Black. Bastard! PhillyCrownOfThorns-11-2-12
ALL of you who ever make the trek to Spokane, are ALWAYS welcome to come by!!! I would love to have some folks who love this stuff as much as I do stop by and hang out for a while.

HOLY SHIT! I never thought of printing off those thumbnails! That will work perfectly. Then I can lay them out and move them all around and find a nice way to do this! Thanks so much. I never remember that site. I should put them up there though, just for fun......THANKS!!!

If you click on each print you have and then click "add to collection" you can record all kinds of data on it. Then print out your whole collection for insurance purposes. I have mine on there as well as an excel spreadsheet.

Thank SO MUCH for your help. I never really thought about doing all of this stuff. It will make it pretty easy to keep track of. I have ALWAYS been very lazy in that aspect. I AM and need to keep getting better at that. I think getting these all framed was the first step. Kind of forced me to do something with it all!

Just to add a bit to what sgossard3 said. I chose not to do mattes. #1 it would have just added to the already high cost of what I was doing, and #2, I wanted the framing to be consistant and about the posters, and I thought that doing a matte would take away from that a bit. So I chose to do them all in a simple black frame with some non-glare glass, so they would all look the same. Maybe a bit plain, but I think it will look good once they are all hung..:)

WOW! it's overwhelming just seeing all those, i can't imagine what that is like in person!
i haven't more to add as far as suggestions for hanging them go...but damn, you could charge admission to folks, it's like a PJ gallery! definitely share pics when they're all up!

That is def the idea. To make it like a gallery, or a museum of sorts. Kind of like that big ball of string people drive accross the country to see! haha The posters are really just the beginning. I have all regular vinyl, promo vinyl, fancub singles, cd singles, promo flats, promo posters, vitalogy mobile, reenk roink, monsterhead, countless setlists, drumsticks, picks, backstage passes, photos, official shit, non-official shit and TONS of other stuff that I am going to put out on display. Some on shelves, some behind glass and some who the hell knows. I have my work cut out for sure. The posters just kicked it all off FINALLY!!

:eek: forget the ball of string, i'd make a stop on my seattle travels to check all that stuff out! good luck, you got hella work ahead!

glad you figured it all out! its alot of math and shit keeping it all to scale but i think itll be worth it and save you alot of time in the long run... you can even experiment with wall colors on your lil scale model
still jealous of your collection!
and i agree with your no matte, black fram approach keeping the focus on the print itself... i do the same with most of mine (when i can afford custom frames)... ive seen some people post pics of some really obnoxious matte jobs and overly elaborate frames

Yeah, I agree with the no mat, black frame approach. Only I varied on the frame color with a couple of mine. I'm using matte metal frames and they only come in a few colors. The guy at the framing store was the one who suggested using the copper color on the West Palm Beach 2003 surf theme poster and it looks awesome.
But I gotta say PJTRADEKING, that your collection is the most astounding thing I've seen. Congrats on having such an awesome tribute to the band.
