Jewelry photo size for the walls

Posted by Denise DiGiglia on June 6, 2014 at 4:44pm in Jurying for Art Fairs & Craft Shows

After deciding to begin the major job of booth improvement I realize that I don't know what size photo of some of my work (jewelry) is best to use on the walls. 20 x 30 poster size seems overwhelming, would 16 x 20 be large enough? Any other advice along this line is appreciated; or a link to the info will work as well.

By the way, I've learned so much from this site.  thank you Connie for all your work to make this possible!

    Mine are printed on banners (poly vinyl I'm guessing). I have pockets made at top and bottom that I thread steel rod thru so they don't flap in the wind. The top rods have eye screws tapped and glued. The eye hook allows for hanging. HTH

    I take photos of my work and upload them to the Walgreens website. The do a very good job of printing 16 x 20 photos for me and they cost less than $20 each for heavy poster stock. usually they are ready the same day and the walgreens is only 10 minutes away.

     I use 8 of them in my display and hang them easily with the use of large "S" hooks that slip right over the poles of my Trimline.

    I punch holes in the corners of the prints to hang them. I bought a cheap portfolio to carry and protect the prints when not in use.

      Did a trial run today Greg and I think the 16 x 20 will work well for us too. Still working on the best way to hang them. Like the portfolio idea, thanks.

    I use 24x24". And hang 2 or 3 on a side. Works really well and I can scale my square files for ZApp (higher pixel size of course). On the back wall I have photo/large banner with my name and logo/photo. I have my photographer prepare them my cost per banner is $30 plus a set up fee. I am in Phoenix and can refer you to him. Think about how or what you will used to hang your banners. I personally don't like grommets. Come up with something better. Good luck.

      thanks Kay, how do you hand your banner? We use grommets on the outside banner.
