Framing Thoughts
0

4 posts in this topic

I have three pieces I want to get framed:

 - Action Comics 685 - Funeral for a Friend

 - Superman/Doomsday #1

 - Batman 494 - Knightfall

See Pictures below.

I am going to do a simple black frame, with Museum Glass, but wanted some input on the acid free Mattes - thinking as follows:

 - For the Superman pieces - black outer matte (say 2 inches thick) with either a red or blue inner matte about 1/4-1/2 inch thick framing the art.  So - the question is for the Superman Pieces should it be a Red or Blue inner matte?

- For the Batman piece - black or grey outer matte with either yellow inner matte. So - the question is for Batman should it be a Black or Grey outer matte?

There is a website I use for my fine art endeavors that will allow you to post a picture and preview it with various matting/framing options.  I've found it very useful as a quick dive into what an idea might look like.  The website is www.pictureframes.com.  Here are a couple quick mock ups I did in about 5 minutes of my art with your ideas for matting.  You can play with the interface to change how the image is cropped, use different frames, etc.  Hope this helps.
