Hi All,
I'm a photographer/ digital artist preparing several framed and unframed works for display at my first Arts Festival. I'm planning to be consistent with all matting, but I'm on the fence about whether to frame with uniformity (same color/style frames, such as a black frame, museum look) or choose frames that best complement the works themselves. Has anyone noticed any advantage in curb appeal/ traffic/ sales using one approach over the other? I've studied hundreds of booth photos and see pros and cons to both.

There are lots of vendors out there in cyberspace and probably your home town.

I was wondering also ...When you say small and large, what size is large and what is small?
What is usually a good type of price sign to put next to art when it is displayed?
My small size is 8x10 matted 11x14 and my large size is 16x20 matted 22x28.

Small: 5x7 or 6x9 print in 8x10 or 11x14 mat
Large: 11x14 or 12x18 in 16x20 or 18x24 mat
...As an example.
You can use the back side of a business card and write the title and price, or you can print something similar in size and laminate it. Use velcro to attach to ProPanels, or slide it in between the frame and glass in the lower corner of the framed piece.
