Five Tips to Design Custom Photo Frames
Selecting the proper materials when framing something important is, well... Important. But it's easier than you might imagine. Check out our quick tips to free your mind a bit to design Custom Photo Frames.
Fillets: A great way to enhance your subject matter is to add a fillet. Fillets are a thin wood frame that lines the inside of your mat, creating an outline, as well as depth and dimension to any piece.
All mat board is NOT created equal: Mat board is available in many colors, textures, and materials. They also differ vastly in quality and price. Mats are an important design element in custom framing, but their most important purpose is keeping the glass from touching documents, artwork, and keepsakes, which is critical to preservation. Because the mat does touch the contents of your frame, it's essential that paper and wood pulp mats not be used. They contain acid, which can discolor, as well as make the elements within brittle, leading to serious damage. Mat boards covered with fabric should not be used either as they could contain dyes, chemicals, or adhesives that are very unsuitable for direct contact. Insist on 100% cotton rag matting, as it is preservation-grade and will stand the test of time.
