    Can someone help a brother out? I'm new to the poster game and have a few questions:

    Is it okay to keep the poster rolled in the tube for a while? Or, is it best to take it out and flatten it before I take it to be framed?

    I'm no expert but I always take them out of the tubes right away. I let them rest a little and then place in a flat file I made with a tri-fold poster display type heavy duty cardboard with acid free paper between each one.

    Got this at Michaels for $48CDN plus tax. There having 40% off select frames until the 19th I believe. Its not archival in any way. I suggest conservation glass and archival matting and backing but that will run you upwards of $250CDN. Alot of options out there, just thought i would share mine for the curious PJ fans :peace:

    Sign up to Photobucket and upload your images on your Photobucket account. Copy the HTML link and paste the link to the message you intend to post. That's how I do it, I'm sure there's many other ways.

    Cheers!

    Anyone have any ideas on the Quebec poster yet? I have never framed a poster before and would like some ideas.

    image

    I always do my framing at a shop in Vancouver called Opus. It's great because they allow you to do everything yourself (with some loose oversight from Emily Carr art students that work there) and as such, you save about half price in materials.

    The best part about doing it in person is that you can take the matting samples and place them beside the image. That allows you to see how the final product will look. I usually do a double mat, and depending on the size of the print, often aim for about 2.5 inches on the top mat, and about 1/4 inch on the lower mat.

    The main thing to consider (in my opinion) for mat colours is to ask yourself "what colours are going to make the image POP". For example, you want to use colours from the image, but not so much that the matting dominates. I usually try for more or a dark or muted colour for the top mat, with a brighter colour for the lower mat (as it only shows about 1/4 inch) as that tends to brighten it up. For example when I matted the Ames PJ20 poster my top mat was black, and the lower mat was orange. For the PJ 2014 Oslo Rhys Cooper I used a charcoal grey (the same colour of the Pearl Jam writing that is shaped like a raven ) with the lower mat that ice blue colour of the beard.

    However, that doesn't always work, and sometimes I've used bright colours for the top mat which have turned out really well. For example, the 2011 Toronto Munk One Moose Purple Variant, where I used the violet colour of the background as the top mat, with the cream colour as the bottom mat. Or the PJ20 Klausen where I used the electric blue as the top mat and the orange colour of the word "Jam" as the bottom mat.

    This poster is kind of unique as it has a built in green border. Therefore, if you wanted to save $, you could probably get away with a single mat, as the green boarder kind of has the same effect of a second mat anyways. You could use either a top mat that is the same as the background for a grey/green boarder effect, or you could use the green as the top mat which would create a green/grey/green effect.

    I will be framing my Quebec one sometime in the coming month or so. Without playing with the mats, its hard to say. Most of the colours in this poster go against what I normally try and do with the top mat (i.e. the green, red, and/or yellow are all seemingly too bright for the top mat). However, in person, they might look rad. Usually I go with a less dominant colour from the image, but here there are very few colours other than Green, Grey, Red, or Burnt yellow. I think white would look weird as a top mat, and other than that, there really aren't any colours to extract from the image.

    I'm thinking that I will probably go double mat, using the grey background colour for the top mat, with a 1/4 inch lower mat that is the yellow burnt mustard colour (or if that looks weird, then the red colour).

    Anyways those are just my thoughts. The funnest part about framing is getting to put your own personal stamp on it. Someone else might completely disagree with my thoughts, and that's kind of the interesting part in seeing how everyone's frames turn out.

    Hope that helps somewhat.

    Cheers,
    Matt

    This is my first time sharing a frame job. Hopefully it shows up and I love how it turned out. This was my 30th show and 30th birthday.


    That looks incredible!
    Thanks! I think the frame fits the poster perfectly. I know most weren't a fan of this poster, but it's one of my favorites
    Nice framing job.

    Your posters are just that, "yours". It doesn't matter if everyone else likes or dislikes a poster. If you like it, frame it, hang it, & enjoy it.

    I am in the group that you mentioned that don't rate this one as high on the favorite list as some others. I do have both APs & was trying to get matching numbers for awhile.

    I am glad to see (not that it matters) & it's cool to see that you chose to use the Joe Louis in this frame rather than the CC version.

    I just went to my local framers with my TO2 poster, and when she flipped the poster over, she saw the back and suggested that she photocopy and reprint on the back of the frame paper. I thought that was a great idea. Just thought I'd share. I'll post when I get it back.

    Sorry I am reading this and unclear? Reprint the front of the poster on the back of the poster? I know I need coffee... please explain!

    Nope. The framer is saying that she'll take what's printed on the back of the poster and reprint it on the backing paper of the frame so that it can be read after the poster is framed.
