How should I display my graphic design for my college art show?
January 24th, 2010
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!

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 !

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.
