Sample share

Just thought I'd share a few pictures of some alternatives to framing. Frames are great - they come in all shapes and sizes, different finishes, colours, with and without mats, you name it - but it's not the only way to display prints.

One option that looks gorgeous on the wall is the gallery wrap. Your photo is printed on canvas, UV laminated for added protection and wrapped on a 2 1/4" stretcher frame. These are stunning as a stand-alone or as part of a collage of canvases. They're available in many sizes - the larger the better in my opinion - and come ready to hang.

The flush mount is another option. Great for storyboards (more than one photo) and look especially good in kids rooms. They're laminated, so they're easy to keep clean, and come ready to hang.

And one of my favourites, the float mount (just had the one below printed - 20x30). Your image is printed and mounted on masonite, laminated to protect it from UV and fingerprints and then attached to a frame that brings it out from the wall so it appears that it's floating. Very modern.

There are more options than what I've shown here and I'll hopefully be able to share more samples soon.

So when it comes time to order, don't just think standard prints and digital files... there's lots more to consider and I can definitely help out with some ideas. And think BIG. I consider 5x7s and 8x10s desk prints - go larger for the wall. Hang something that is going to have an impact. A 24x30 canvas has much more of a 'wow' factor than a small framed print. It's art!
