The Importance of Frames, Photos and Art

It goes without saying that the frame you choose will play a huge part in displaying a work of art, a photograph or some other visual item. A good choice will provide a visual package that is both aesthetically pleasing while remaining internally cohesive and in harmony. A bad choice is one where the viewers are left scratching their heads, wondering why the frame seems like such a bad match for the work inside. There are, however, many key points to consider when it comes to choosing the right frame. This is made even more difficult thanks to the sheer variety of framing options, from collage framing to custom framing and more. This is something that we at The Finishing Touch Gallery can help you with. Whether it’s choosing the right frame, restoring the photograph that goes into it or coming up with artwork for you to display, we have the expertise that you need. On the subject of frames, here is some advice to keep in mind.

Decide What Kind of Feel the Visual Should Have

Consider the example of collage framing. This is one of the types of frames that we at The Finishing Touch Gallery can provide. Now, most people are familiar with collages, where different photos, illustrations and similar items are grouped in a way that doesn’t adhere to strict geometric lines. The photos don’t have to line up, or be perfectly parallel or perpendicular to each other. Instead, the feel that a collage has is something that is more informal and more personal. Collage framing is simply taking this process to the next level. There may be multiple frames, which connect to one another, or one larger frame with slots of various sizes or shapes. This kind of frame maintains the informality and personal touch that you get from a collage, except that the existence of the frame gives it an additional polish and sense of completion. If you’d like to frame a collage of old photos, we can even help you retouch them so that they look their best even after all the years.

Consider Customisation

Now, what if you’re looking for a framed painting to hang in a boardroom. That isn’t put there just to have something nice to look at. The visual also conveys a sense of elegant power or even majesty, which the company wants visitors to associate with its brand. This is where custom framing can play a role. If there is a desire to impress, this can be taken to another level by not just having the frame look amazing, but also by having the frame feature the logo, acronym or other visual associated with the company. For a business which seeks to convey the idea that it is the best, and only chooses the best, custom framing shows just how able the company is to get things done in a unique and customised way. We can also provide you with advice on custom framing so that you end up with exactly that frame that you want.
