I think I hate my poster framing!

i framed my blue eV east coast poster and asked for double matte and i wanted the matte to go up to the black and not show any white, but they have white showing anyway. also, i think i want the darker matte to be bigger i think.. maybe 2 inches instead of one... i dunno, all i know is that i didnt ask for that white to be there.

what should i do? should i just go back and complain (but in a nice way of course), should i just live with it? would they charge me a lot for sort of redoing it? any help would be great :)

    I think it looks nice. Since there's some white on the poster, it doesn't look wrong to have it around the edge.

    I think it looks good, but you should get what you want. next time, if you are particular, give your instructions in writing and keep a copy for yourself.

    how much does a frame job like that cost? I should get a few of my favs framed for my office, but it seems like an investment from what I have read on the board.

    it does look nice, but I wouldn't put the tickets directly on the print-overtime that could cause irregular shading

    personally i dont think that looks all that bad, well not to hte point i would hate it lol, but its up to what you like and what you have to look at everyday, so it should be what makes you happy. i would suggest, a larger top mat and just a pin stripe of the light blue....like i did on my duss http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q320/gdfraser/framed%20posters/DSCI0312.jpg if you have to pay, which i dont think you should since its not what you wanted, it shouldnt be much. the cost of two new mats because the frame and glass wont be changed.

    ps - you look like your pretty hot, pics of you please. pm is ok :)

    i can understand why you may not like it, I think it looks really good. Personally, I believe that the colors around the edge, the white and blues, compliment the poster pretty well. :)

    I actually like it, but you're the one that has to be happy with it- and the reflection in the glass is pretty sweet too :) (Sorry Gary ;) )

    woah this thread got out of control...

    the poster looks good though. Did you discuss what the poster should look like before you had them frame it? If so and there was no mention of the white showing they should fix it for free.

    And from your myspace "LIfe Soundtrack" thing, why the hell would "Nothingman" be played during the party scenes. I don't think I would want to see that movie, seems too depressing

    That frame job doesn't suck! Seriously, you should get what you like, considering the hard earned $$$$ you have to drop for this stuff....but I like it
  • southerngardensoutherngarden Posts: 457
    so this thread went crazy...but id like to point out that having those tickets in there like that is a bad idea. they will eventually damage the poster.
    I shit and I stink, I'm real, join the club...
