framed poster thread

cockage

Suziemay -

i did pick em out myself. I frame all my stuff at Michaels. I wait for a hefty discount (usually a 60% + 10%) and then bring in a bunch.

They have tons of colors to choose from....Usually takes 10-15 minutes until i find something that i like....

Then its really up to your imagination.

Ive framed about 20 posters so far and obviously they have gotten better each time. I started with a single mat on the first 5 and have since gone back and actually had them changed out because i much prefer the look of multiple mats.....

really just depends on your taste.....

I have used the "Basics - matte black 8411" wooden frame since day 1. I check the Berkshire mats first (cheapest) but a lot of times have to go for "Select" due to the better color selection.

I'm too far into this to change now, but I kind of wish I was changing up the frames and doing double matting. All my posters have been done with this frame and single mats. They usually cost about $70 to do. A bunch of my posters are on page 266 of this thread...

I am going to use American Frame on my EV LA as well but have a question as a first timer. If I don't use any mat do I need to use some sort of spacer so that the poster does not touch the glass? Michaels has done most of my framing with no mats and they just put the poster under the glass. They are in a basement so no natural light gets in.

I'm no expert but I don't see why you would use a spacer....and my posters are not under glass anyway. it's plexiglass.

I have a question for those that have used American Frame

If you use a mat, do you still order the frame to be the exact size of the print, or do you add the width of the mat onto the print and order that size frame?

"art size" is the whole key. take an exact measurement of what you WANT TO SHOW. then, if you mat, choose "no overlap." your mat opening will be the same as art size and THEY will determine everything else based on how wide you want the mat to be. clear as mud? :?
