I am pretty excited. I just snatched up this Kansas Mini-poster,
that I will mat, frame and hang in my office to help completer
the total decor of the room.
[glow=red,2,300]2001 KANSAS JAPAN TOUR CONCERT FLYER [/glow]
What I love about this, is Kansas is one of my fav groups, it
shows almost all the covers, it shows the band, the typical
logo, and to make it a little exotic a Japanese print.

I got it yesterday and it's perfect (can't believe it came so
quick from Tokyo, Japan). Great colors, nice paper stock.
Anyway, now I need to do a great job of framing it. Any thoughts
are welcome. I'm pretty sure I'm going to mat it with an
oversize. The mini-poster is 7" X 10", so I'm thinking of at
least 3" of mat all around. I'll pick one of the colors out of
the poster... or black or white. Dunno. I'll also offset it.
with maybe a 4" or more bottom.
But I'd like to do more. Maybe some unique mat cutting? Not sure
about the frame either.
as an example of what I'm thinking.

What I use to do is buy those "plexi glass" frames with the 4
slide-on edges that are made out of plastic whenever I would get
a new Movie Poster. They run about 20 bucks each. It's cheap and
quick. The downside that I've seen about them first hand is that
after awhile (usually after a year or so depending on the
weather and humdity), they begin to warp and then the bottom
slide usually falls off. So, definitely spend a little more
money and get a proper frame that's going to last. I wish I knew
about this warping before I shelled out the bucks for a handful
of these. Bah.
As always, post some pics when you have them ready for display.
Would like to see the end results for sure.

Pretty cool selection there. I have a Movie/Music Poster/Frame
Shop just down the street I hit every once in awhile. HUGE
selection. It actually takes a good half hour just to go through
all the new stuff that comes in. These are original one sheets
and range anywhere from 25 bucks upwards of 75 bucks. I'll see
if I can find the link for the shop and post here.

The price on frames and glass are nice. It's AMAZING what you
can spend on a good mat and frame job.

Well, I'm done for now. Got the poster and took it to the frame
store, and well, let's just say, the expense of what I was
envisioning just wasn't worth it. I found some very nice frames
and mats and decided on this nice little number with double
offset mat, that highlights the poster nicely.
I still have more room for other idea's that come, but for now,
I'm satisfied.

That's actually better than I thought it would turn out to be. I
was envisioning the poster more or less being flushed with the
edges. But I really like the matte that frames the poster
within. Good job, Dude.
