PFG, Picture Framing God
I promised somebody awhile back that I would post some ideas that work for me with framing high school things.
Here are a few that I have done on a repetitive basis each school year and I hope they will give some of you some toughts to ponder to do something similar.
This is a graduation framing that I offer each spring. I place a display piece in a couple of the area schools and they get good responses from the parents who don't know what to get their kids for graduation.
It consists of the cover and inside of the graduation invitation and the namecard that accompanies the invitation, a graduation tassle, and a small photo of the graduate. I cut either an oval opening or what is pictured for the photo and namecard, I float mount the 2 sections of invitation on foamboard, and attach the tassle with very small dabs of adhesive at the top of the knot and on the loop where it overlaps the invitation. A fairly shallow gallery frame deep enough to house the floats and the tassle and all mats in the school colors and you have a nice grad. gift for under a hundred bucks. It takes very little time to lay these out once you do a few and I retail them for $99.95. (Of course!)
I do team group shots also. This is an annual one that I do for the local highschool's scholar bowl group. They go to Nationals almost every year and they have alot of competition wins under their belts.
Each participant's name is under the photo and their year's awards are listed on each side. The football coach supplies the "Wildcat" decals that are on their helmets to place above the photo. (Apologies for the crappy photos but you get the idea, I hope.)
This was a State Champion football team in another town.
Another float mount with the medal draped over and behind one of the school color matboards.
Last 2 are collages of lady athletes and just a few of their awards.
I hope that these give some of you some ideas for promoting your framing in the local schools. They are all easy to do and will make you a few bucks if you go out to the schools and promote them.
