Product Information

You can do that by making the mount bottom heavy, by which it means a thicker bottom mount, with a narrower top mount thickness or even side thicknesses.

Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. For these types of pictures when you want to bring the theme through, a double picture mount is the perfect way to do that. When adding decoration to a mount or the proportions of multi layer mounts and frames I often use the rule of thirds, geometric and arithmetic progressions. Pete mentions that the balance rule is not adhered to slavishly, as some mass-production requirements may dictate otherwise and equal-sided mats (mounts) are much quicker to cut than those with a balance. And if you're stuck for ideas on what you can put in this picture frames designs download, try some of our Mindfulness Colouring Sheets, or for a creative writing task that will look amazing in a classroom display, try our Creative Writing Prompts Pack.Some photographs are not reproducible, the negative or digitial file may have been lost or destroyed, to assume otherwise is arrogant folly.

I do use the Golden Ratio along with other ‘rules’, the rule of thirds for example, they have proven over time to be harmonious and pleasing to the eye, particularly in art, architecture and design in general. Fortunately, you can achieve your desired results with online custom framing, all from the comforts of home! For example for a landscape watercolour I could use a 90mm ivory mount, this might be down to 65mm for a dark green mount. Now, if you’re framing something small in an oversized frame, you’ll notice a wide mount will give it an element of importance because it will truly stand out.I have also purchased previously a mat for a 20 x 16 inch frame that has equal margins all round of about 70mms. Neutral mounts, white and ivory, you can be quite generous with before they start dominating or distracting. If your artwork is in between sizes, it's better to round down to the nearest 1/8" to prevent any space showing between the art and the mat. When Leonardo et al used the Golden Ratio it was for overall size and positioning of components within a composition, not for dictating mount and frame surrounds. Generally, the majority of professionally framed photographs have an off-white photo mount or at least a light colour.

It is about expression, tallent and individually, plus so much which is not usually rigidly defined by rules. Why should not we be doing what we think looks right so well and why are we so unwilling to trust our instincts and revert to mathematics instead. If your picture's size corresponds with a standard size, opt for a standard-sized frame, it's more convenient.

I don't know if others would agree, but it seems to me that the effect is more noticable when the aperature is portrait rather than landscape. To ensure precision and accuracy, we employ a Gunnar computerized mount cutter to cut your picture mounts. Seeing the specs in real-time as you customize your frame is just one of the many reasons to go with online custom framing for your next project. It's easy to find the perfect frame colour to complement your artwork and reflect your personal style.
