which frame/mat combo? (reposted w/ photos fixed)

[vernacular_life]

So is the asymmetrically frame thing annoying, or cool? (print is 18X12, so not tiny)


all the same thickness


thicker at the bottom

Also, wasn't planning on double matting, but open to suggestions. How about a black-core mat?

you dork!

I fixed the photo links, so you can see now.

I keep thinking that the off center one looks like an Imac, but not that its a really bad thing.....

We were always taught to make the mat wider at the bottom - when it is the same all of the way around it creates an optical illusion that the bottom is smaller than the rest :)

Now that I see the pictures, the bottom one looks pretty cool. It's the step in the photo that makes it "work."

As for double matting, the top one would be okay double-matted. But, the wider-at-the-bottom one looks better as it is.
