THE PHOTO + ART WALL

Eric Cohler - great display on a wall that is often neglected!

I LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE AN ART WALL - DESIGNERS WILL DIFFER ON THEIR "RULES OF DISPLAY", I'M USUALLY DRIVEN BY INTUITION NOT DIE HARD RULES. HERE ARE A FEW TIPS TO KEEP IN MIND.

-VARY YOUR PHOTOS FOR INTEREST, EX. CLOSE- UPS, DISTANCE SHOTS, INSIDE, OUTSIDE, BIRDSEYE, LANDSCAPE..ETC. ETC.

-HAVE A METHOD TO YOUR MADNESS - BE SOMEWHAT CONSISTENT WITH THE DISTANCE BETWEEN PHOTOS, EX: 2", 3 + 4" ETC.

-CREATE AN IMPACT - WIMPY ART DISPLAYS FALL FLAT! POWER IS IN NUMBERS + OR SIZE!

- VARY SCALE WHEN DISPLAYING A LARGE QUANTITY OF PHOTOS, ART + OBJECTS

{PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL WITH ANY QUESTIONS, ANYTIME!}
