Different types of mounting

Presentation techniques 

This post is about the different presentation techniques that could be used for my purposed final outcome. 

Flat mount- This presentation is where you fix your work to mount card either by double sided tape or adhesive spray. To add a more finished look you can have a 1mm or 2mm black boarder around your image before its applied to the card. 

Suspended- This technique involves hanging your piece of work from the ceiling using wire. This technique usually takes place in galleries. 

Float mount-  This presentation can be produced by various materials such as foam, wood and aluminium. This technique gives a contemporary finish to flat pieces of work.  The board tends to me smaller than the image to give the illusion that the image is floating

Flat wall mount- This technique is where you directly stick your artwork onto the wall using an interlocking method of wire/string and sticky pads

Window mount- This method is more traditional. You cut into a board thats just slightly smaller than your artwork then using sticky tape you fix your piece into the board. This can then be covered by a glass panel to produce a professional finish.
