    Also, borrow a rug for the shot, there is some weird distracting glare.

    Thanks Larry. I thought of you all afteroon while I was  working on this!  Somehow, right after I posted this, I KNEW you'd see that white on the right! Wind kept blowing it inward.

     

    If i get rid of the feet, will it still be stable?

     

    And yeah, I see what you mean about the heights being off - I just don't understand why that would be an issue (?)

     

    Any other suggestions?   Today's weather was cooperating, so I got what I could before the next storm hits, but I can adjust when the weather breaks  again. 

    BTW: your suggestion to take pics, come in and look at them, and go back out to make changes was spot on! When I saw them on the screen the first time, I caught a lot of things you'd previously posted to others about correcting. :D

      The height of the pieces is only an issue if it's noticed. I noticed it right away. The object is to prepare the booth so that nothing but the art is noticed, by the public and the jurors. You can move the pieces up in Photoshop.

      I had similar racks for twenty years and never had an issue with stability. Those feet are a terrible sacrifice to make thinking they'll support your display. I'm surprised that they still offer them for sale. All they are good for is setting up your panels in a straight line. There are much better ways to add support that doesn't get in the way. I used to use electrical conduit fittings. The racks are made from half inch electrical conduit so you can find fittings at any home center store. I always connected my racks to the legs of my canopy but if I were doing an indoor show, I would go across overhead with 1/2 and 3/4 inch conduit poles that slides inside each other to get an exact fit.

    It's a good start. The two things that jump out at me are the uneven height of the pieces on the far left panel. Raise them up to match all the other pieces in the booth. The other is the white highlights under the right rear panels.

    By the way. Throw away those feet on your display and use cable ties to connect the panels. Much cleaner and won't trip anyone or get into your neighbor's space.
