for my final prints I have decided to structure together 6 different framing styles. I have chosen to include images from my seascape topic and my past abstract topic.

For my first photos to be mounted i decided to use two plain pieces of white foam board. I connected them together with spare pieces of foam board taped over both parts. I wanted to create a simple and clean photo board so i lined up and measured the gap space between photos to match each other to look neat. i roughly placed images with either similar or contrasting colours between the two.

My second board I decided to mount the black and white abstract images. These 4 images are grouped together to replicate a life of repetition and dullness in an abstract approach. So to make this message more clear to viewers I have decided to print out the same image twice but in A3 and A5. I started off with bordering the A3 images with black card and the A5 images with cut to size white foam board. I placed the smaller images on top of the bigger ones to create an illusion of the same scene happening over and over again. Finally I stuck together two white foam boards vertically and placed the images in a sequence of creating a spiral effect in the middle, looking like a square. I trimmed the edges for a clean looking cut.

for my next prints i chose a black card background to work from using my colourful abstract plastic bag images. These images tie well together with my seascape images as some photos can look and replicate waves. I mounted my A5 images onto white foam board and cut to size. Then arranged them to colour co-ordinated and a pattern I liked then glued them onto the small black background. Another square shape was created in the centre of the board with the measurements between the images being the same.

A different approach to mounting up, I decided to use a glass white photo frame with a black boarder to hold my (sea/plastic) image. This was a simple process of sliding my A3 image through the back of the frame.

My next group of final images I decided to frame each image with a black boarder as all were black and white. These images represent abstract repetition with a subtle but strong contrast between black and white. I yet again chose two vertical images and two horizontal images to place together and measured to create a square within the middle. Finally I mounted up the images into a singular piece of white foam board.

For my final board I decided to include a range of styles to create a interesting and eye catching outcome for my chosen images. These images work well together as for the contrast and tonal balance between colours. I chose 4 x A5 images from a seascape photoshoot and one A3 image. I included 2 window frames diagonally across from each other for 2 x A5 images. Then for the remaining 2 x A5 images I cut to size white foam backing and then arranged all images around the boarded pineapple onto a black card backing then cute to fit onto a white boarder.
