Most of the poster is yellow...im thinking brown or yellow frame, black matte to set off the yellow and maybe throw in a ticket stub...

Brown frame and black matte would definitely work well. I would avoid the yellow....it'll be overkill....but that's just MHO.

My friend moved into a new apartment yesterday and went to the thrift store for some decorations. He found an Ames 03 MSG poster in a cheap frame, he got it for $10. Not a bad find.

Here's my first attempts at framing. I got the frames, mat boards, and backing boards from American Frame, and put it together at the Washington Framer's Workroom (http://www.framersworkroomdc.com). It's great, you pay for the glass and a $5 table fee and you can use all of their materials and equipment...

NICE JOB!!!

WeBelongTogether

a) this thread rules
b) some of you people seem to very artistic... i love the colors of some of the mats some of you have used, in addition to the framing.
c) i have 3 posters and can't wait to get them framed

Finally, do most of you guys frame these things yourselves or take it to "pro" framing stores. What does it typically cost to frame these amazing poster.


Cheers!

blue matte w/ orange trim?

Pearlybaker

Do you mean orange frame or a second orange matte?

Thanks for the input

Personally, I like black frames - though some people have posted cool photos of green frames (I think for Lollapalooza). But I was thinking a primary blue matte, with a very small (maybe 1/4") line of orange showing. So yes, double-matte. But there are others with a much better eye than me. I just framed my first poster ever (Camden from this year - w/ a single grey matte, that matches the color of the grey in the skull and elsewhere).

So I did a self framing of the Ed Solo poster and I love it. Much better than on a jpeg and in person, it's much better than batman to me.

Hey everyone,

Great posters............I'm looking to get a couple of mine framed. What's a reasonable price range for custom framing? I've never had anything professionally framed and just don't want to get hosed. Thanks.
