Hey Everyone,

I am contemplating on how to frame my S&S, can you please post pics to help me decide.

Thanks

[skelly]

I have a thin black outline layer and then a white matte to black frame. The tiny line of black is great to seperate print from matte

Thats the line I use

[lalinea]

Yeah..... I couldn't decide wether to float or matt the print but I think it looks better matted.

Thanks everyone for your help

No doubt this particular print looks better with a color matte. White-box framing on this piece is an eye sore.

I like the white outer matte with the thin inner black matte and black frame. Ive framed alot of things through the years with colored mattes but like the classic clean look these days.

always keep things simple.

no colour on the frame or mount, if there is there is 2 colours...

white or black

[graeme501]

totally agree

mines is at framers, float mounted on a black on black box frame

I would agree with Jboy and Graeme in the majority of cases, but I think Pezlow's S+S looks awesome. Way better-looking than white white or white black. Just my opinion. I'd be interested to see this with black mount in a white frame though.

I would generally agree with that.

But I would also really like to see one floated half an inch above a duck eggish blue backing (to match the gloves) so that the deckled edge shows with only about an inch of colour showing around the print in a chunky white box frame. I think that could be a winner.

NOT THIS TOPIC AGAIN. MEATBAG HAS THE ONLY WINNER HERE. THE REST ARE JUST ABYSMAL TO THE EYES. GREAT JOB MEATBAG.

if you need an over the top border, there is something wrong with the image.

No disprespect to anyone as its all choice, but i deal with design all day and with clients who always try to over hash designs, i spend all my time convincing them that keeping it simple is more affective and i have yet to be proved wrong and the stuff i work on is what everyone of you buys...

take away all the s**t and you should be left with the idea which is the main focus.

its a natural instinct to over egg stuff. think 5 years down the line, you will probably had wished that you did not get it framed in the bright yellow and pink frame with gold tassles.

I'm a designer too jboy - thats why I said I generally agree with you on the minimalist take but while reducing things to the simplest form pretty much always works, it's not necessarily the only thing that does. Sometimes great things come from an unusual approach.

[rurualhick]

JBOY NOT ONLY THAT, S&S IS A VERY MINIMAL IMAGE. DOING THE COLORED FRAMES AND ORNAMENTAL CRAP ONLY TAKES AWAY FROM THE IMAGE. JUST PUT IT THIS WAY, THE MORE COLOR, THE MORE ORNAMENTAL YOUR FRAME, THE MORE OF A DISASTER YOU DID TO BANKSY. I CALL IT VISUAL BLASPEMY.

[rurualhick]

SERIOUSLY MOST OF THESE FRAMES ARE REALLY PAINFUL TO THE EYES

first of all stop writing in capitals and second of all if you read what i said you just repeated me.

[rurualhick]

ACTUALLY IF YOU READ THE PREVIOUS THREAD YOU JUST REPEATED WHAT I SAID

[bullet]

are you pissed, you are making fuck all sense.

[spirit]

Ruralhick. Do you not agree that if everyone took your advice the world would be a very boring place? I agree with you that floating it on white in a white box frame (like madbeats) works well - it looks great. I also agree with you that there are some travesties in this thread. However to suggest that the white/white solution is the ONLY WAY is just dull thinking. Believe me I understand where you are coming from and why you say what you say - but sometimes, just sometimes, doing something different works and when it does it adds some creativity to the world. Do you run a white frame only shop or something?

it's actually a place that Josh Liner Gallery uses here in Philadelphia called Trinity Framing. They convinced me to use a slightly chunkier white frame then I was thinking and I'm glad they did. Glad you dig it.

SPIRIT, YOU'RE WRONG. IVE STATED BEFORE THERE ARE THINGS IN VISUAL DESIGN THAT ARE FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS. SEE HERE: banksyforum.proboards82.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=general&thread=5498&page=1
