PM me if you want yours to look like mine.

That's really nice. You're a bit more of a pro than me, but it was my first attempt!

Has anyone framed the following:

Pittsburgh 06
Cincy 06

Champaign 03

Yield Summer Tour poster. The one that looks like the album?

I just went with a simple black frame kit on this one.

Yeah, I was thinking of doing something simple, maybe a black mat.

Anyone else frame this yet?

I just framed mine. I will post a pic in a minute. I just let the poster float between the mat board and the class so it is a little crooked. It was hard to get it straight without glue to keep it down. I love this poster

i would suggest getting some clear picture corners and stick them to the mat board..that way it will keep the poster in place and also keep the poster back off the glass.

Thanks for the tip. This is the first time I every really tried to frame anything myself and I know nothing about it. But I figured it wasnt a good idea to use glue. I did my best

yeah, don't use glue. You might want to consider getting spacers as well. It's not good for the art to touch the glass. Basically just put the spacers all around the corners of the glass. You can get both photo corners and spacers at any craft shop. The corners are cheap, the spacers are usually about 6 bucks for a stick. (my posters take 2 sticks each most of the time)

that perth is a beautiful poster. I'm so happy to have it! And I must commend you on your Chicago Klausen. When I first saw it I was really dissapointed (also known as "I hated it") But that blue background makes it look really nice.

Great mat selection on the Troy 98

Thanks! That one is definitely my favorite. I just framed Champaign 03 which turned out pretty well, I think. Ill post as soon as I get a pic.
