Cheers!

That TZ episode breaks my heart...

[brude]

Its one of my favorites, too.
I think I first learned the true meaning of irony from that one.

Took this down today, it has settled a little bit in the frame. Apparently I didn't put enough of the tension springs on the back of the frame/board. Plus I am considering matting it. I think a nice white matting would make the whole thing pop. What do you guys and gal think?



BTW Ari, how do I get a library card?

I think what would really make you KONG poster "pop" Gingerman, is if it were hanging in MY place. Zowie! That would be awesome!

Looking good there, Gingerman!  Even if Kong is a little "unsettled."   

[Gingerman]

GoGo You are not the first person to make that exact suggestion! It does look awesome hanging above my bed 

erik1925  Thank you, I am sure things will settle down soon.

You mean OTHER PEOPLE have suggested that your Kong poster would really pop hanging at my house? Zowie! I'm so glad others are on my side!

IMO it would look better in another frame altogether.  I know a lot of people like the slim ones I think they are fine for smaller posters.  Of course matting will help hide the space between the borders and the frame but personally a larger width frame I think would make it poptastic. Either way - killer poster!

I can appreciate that. Something more commanding perhaps and supportive of such a large poster. Let me ask you this, how far over do you think the matting should go? All the way to the Red/Black edge in the poster?

I would not go over the border with the mat to the edge of the art. That could make the poster feel too "closed in" or even make it appear to have been trimmed of its border.

Show the entire poster, Gingerman, borders and all!

I like it very much Chris. Congrats. I tend to do as Vick suggested, using a larger frame and looking out for the best matting. But it is a personal choice and yours looks fantastic.

Here is a snapshot of one of my posters as an example.  Like yours it has a deep background colour  so I wanted something that it would make it pop. And I will always make sure i can see the full poster (borders /edges included). There are good reasons, not just cosmetic, main one is that you can see it is an orginal poster with all the original lettering  (printer included)

Be careful with those tension springs is my advice (from experience)!  If you use too many (like along the sides and bottom) they can create "tension ripples/waves" in the poster.  What I do now, and this is alleviated the problem for the most part, is only put the tension springs under the top portion of the frame - this lets the poster hang more freely without be squished all the way around unevenly by the tension springs.  I have also found (perhaps obviously) that coupling this method with increasing the depth of the backing board greatly reduced any settlement or sagging/rippling within the frame.  This is for those that do not want to add any hinge mounts or other adhesive method to hold the poster within the frame directly...

[Gingerman]

Jeff  All the way up to the edge, just enough to cover the linen. I see now....

Rosa  I like that frame color matte combo, what color matting do you think would look good for mine?

Chris  I will have to try that. As it is now, the whole thing settled, and you can see the ripple/wave in the photo. I only used a few of the springs all the way around, because I didn't know how many or where to focus them. The board behind it is pretty thick. I really don't want to use an adhesive, also I am not familiar with hinge mounting?

[erik1925]

Ginger- a medium to dark red mat might look good, with the cream/tan colored poster border giving a nice contrast. That, with the black frame, could look "Kong-tastic!"

Oh boy Chris, I feel the pressure now    uhm.. for yours I most likely leave it white or nude colour, just because your poster might look a bit too dark and I would want it to pop. So keep it light  but will play a bit with the frame , probably black but a bit wider. Or a tone that matches the overall look..Below are a couple of samples ( the idea is that both have a cream/ crude white matt) and that you can see the full poster. The ones below hide the border which is not what you would want but can help you to see how it could look like with a different frame.

But I do like yours. So enjoy it!!!
