    The Grand Rapids is a cool idea! However, I would have switched poster to teh left side and had the pictures and ticket on the right... but that's just me.

    Did you actually cut up your poster?!?!?!?!?! I am SO anal about my (one, I know its lame) poster.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    And how do you keep the poster from touching the glass?

    its a camera phone picture, my real camera is busted.


    Problem is I have a gap inbetween the poster and mat, it looks weird, even if I have it perfectly centered there is a gap on each side:

    Hey folks. Long-time lurker, first-time poster. (I believe this is where the radio DJ honks a horn or some kind of dog barks, right?!?)

    If there's an appropriate thread buried somewhere in the Pit where first-timers should go to properly introduce themselves and someone can point me in the right direction, I'd be glad to go there and take my turn to stand up and introduce myself to the rest of the class.

    Just wanted to say in here, though, that I'm the guilty party that did the mat work and framing on clk019's Grand Rapids poster. And thanks to a couple of you for the compliments.

    Real quickly, speaking to the one comment that it would've been better to have the poster on the left rather than the right -- there's a funny story behind that, actually. I sketch everything out on paper in advance. Then I get out the old T-square ruler and start drawing my lines in on the back of the mats. On this occasion, when I was looking at my sketch of where the openings would be, I replicated that on the back of the matboard -- forgetting that the openings would be REVERSED when I flipped the mat over! Total brain cramp on my part. When I was done, I had two options -- either keep it the way you see it in the picture, or turn it upside down and have the poster be on the left, but have the ticket at the top. I chose to go with the poster on the right after asking my wife if it bothered her, aesthetically speaking.

    At any rate, I'm interested in what a lot of the rest of you pay for your matting and framing done by professionals. I'm a big autograph and memorabilia collector, as well as a budding PJ gig poster collector. And it was costing me a fortune in the past to get things professionally matted and framed. That's why I started doing it on my own with a 42-inch Logan mat cutter.

    So if anyone is interested in services similar to what I did for clk019, shoot me a PM and we can have a conversation. I'm not out looking to make big wads of money -- I honestly enjoy doing projects like clk019's poster because every time I do one, I get better at it. And I know I can do work that is, perhaps, 80 percent of the quality of a professional, but at a fraction of the price. So if you're interested, feel free to let me know. I can e-mail you pictures of other bigger projects I've done with some of my autographed memorabilia, as well as other posters.

    And again, if there's a spot I can go to properly introduce myself so as not to be labeled some kind of "noob" trying to come in here and make a buck, let me know. I'm here for the long haul and I'll be posting in other areas in due time.

    Welcome!

    And if there's "newbie introduction" page, nobody ever told me about it. :)

    Nice work on the matting and if I had any work to do I'd shoot something your way. My walls are filled and there's stuff in the closet waiting for a space. My framing guy suggested boarding over the windows to free up space, but I'm not sure about that idea...

    While I'm here, I just realized that I pulled my Randall's Island poster out of photobucket a while ago.

    Here it is for anyone who wants to see it:

    There are things called spacers that you put in between the poster and the glass. No idea how much they are, but any frame shop should have them.

    Well, sorta.

    But mostly I didn't know people were still posting on this thread. Didn't want to leave a dead link.

    Just a quick tip...

    Try this the next time you guys are doing your next design. Extend the matting in either direction to go with the orientation of the piece... so if it is a vertical piece make the top and bottom a half of an inch bigger than the sides. Sounds weird but give it a try. I think things look better this way than even all the way around...

    also I always tell my customers that unless the white bevel adds to the design I reverse the cut it so you dont see it...

    Or use a solid colored board, right? Most of the time I don't like the white either.

    Thanks. I've never seen that one. Not sure I like the green, but it's cool that there's a "sister" poster.
