How should I display my graphic design for my college art show?
Should I mount it on foam board? Should I frame it? I’m a senior in college and sadly this is the first opportunity I’ve had to exhibit my graphic design work. I have a gallery opening coming up in April that is exhibiting my work. I am not sure if it is proper for graphic design to be framed or mounted. I am hoping the answer is mounted because I am a poor college student and frames are expensive!! Most of my work is posters, logos, lots of grungy stuff. Any answers are most appreciated! THANKS!
Typically you would mount it on black book board with a 1.25 inch border for anything 8.5 x 11 or smaller and a 2 inch border for anything bigger like posters. Book board is expensive…ish, so your next best bet is black foam core. Just make sure to use a ruler and a VERY sharp razor so you get nice professional straight cuts.
stack cardboard boxes ina row like a wall but not perfectly. ..kind of randomly. use boxes that are same size, new with nor markings on the, ..put your art on that…seen this in front of a shopping mall in Bangkok Thailand…super cool !
