PFG, Picture Framing God
I had this project come in a few weeks ago.
The state of Illinois issues a deer pin whenever a deer hunter harvests a deer and brings it to a deer check-in station. This customer had every pin from the project's inception in 1978 for both shotgun/black powder and archery season. There are 42 pins in this layout and, originally, the customer wanted a shadow box with only the pins displayed. I convinced him that I could make a more interesting display if we included a deer print along with the pins.
these pictures show what we came up with.
My problem was laying out and cutting the 42 1.5" circles. I decided that, in the long run, I would be ahead if I farmed out the cutting to another shop with a CMC. I had Marc Bluestone in St. Louis do the job and it was impressive.
Give me your critique on this. It was a diversion from my usual design work and I had more comments on it than any other design I did this year so far.
