Done manually on a Fletcher 2000. He really wanted the black metal frame and when I showed him the Crescent Select specifier he very quickly said Cubicle on top, After Dark underneath.

The newspaper pages on the bottom are full colour copies from the paper that published the customers article (Front page, credits, and the article) reduced by about 20% so they weren't to huge. The picture of Bobbby Hull sans teeth is a scan and reprint from a book presented to my customer by Mr Hull, and the colour photo is Bobby Hull and my customer..

I know I didn't charge enough. I hope I get referalls!

My wife said I should have moved the B& W over to the left, I thought the divider being in the middle of the frame between the two pictures was more important.

I think that you laid it out perfectly.

Great job, they'll be back.

Weighting the bottom margin and moving the b&w over would have been nice, but it looks good as you did it.
 
$185.00 for the package, including getting the photocopies done and scanning and getting the B&W printed. 28.5" x 29", 2 sheets of Crescent Select, 1 sheet AF 3/8 foamcore, regular glass (Had to come in budget somehow (it was $150.00)). The materials are well covered, my labour was way to cheap. He gave me 3 things to frame though. All in the same metal (Decor lookalike D74). One was a straight remove from old frame, throw in new frame. The other was the same frame, same matte colours, double window with 2 pictures of John Candy in Vancouver on the playing field. Much easier and quicker. I did OK on those ones so the total bill averages out.

Now that I have told, how does that compare to others in the industry?
