Frames and mounts each have individual jobs to do for your picture. It is important that you choose carefully your picture frame and mount as the wrong choice can make your artwork look terrible. Professionals can easily tell you which frame will best fit your picture.
Before you frame you artwork, make sure you have removed the bits you do not want from the picture. It will not look very nice if there is a gap between the picture and mount/frame. The option is available to increase and decrease the size of your photograph with most developers.
Having a wide mount that also has a neutral colour will help your pictures and photos to be more eye-catching. The reason there is a mount is so that it directs the viewer’s eye to your artwork and also to improve the look of it. The point is to enhance the look of the photograph, not steal the attention from it – it is for this reason that you should opt for a neutrally coloured mount.
You must put a lot of care into choosing your frame’s colour, as brightly coloured frames can take away from the beauty of your pictures.

Cheap Picture Frames!
It's Official...
Posted: 10th November 2009
Yesterday I had an enquiry from a friend of ours on Twitter. The person (who will remain unnamed) informed us that she went down to her local picture framers and asked how much standard A4 sized (297mm x 210mm) photo frames were, they quoted our friend £30 each. She later informed me about this and I advised her to look on our website using the Design Studio, to her delight the same frames she wanted were only £8.94 each with us! That's a saving of 70% - she later called us 'Saviours'.
