For a booth shot, why is it recommended to put large pieces toward the front of the booth?
Is it the same recommendation for setting up for an actual show? I would've thought that having large pieces in the back draw people _into_ the booth, no?
Thanks!

For a booth shot, though, I'd think that the larger, showier pieces are easier to see straight on (in the back), rather than distorted on the side. I agree on placing them in the front to pull in customers... I guess the question is more for booth shots. Thanks!
I like to have my very large, showier pictures straight on in the back. I also put one on the side walls so traffic sees it as they approach. They can see them easily when walking by. This will hopefully draw the customers in. I don;t want them to admire it from outside then walk away without coming in to see the others.
It may be different for a booth shot, however contrary to what might be prevalent, I choose to have my booth shot be the same as what I set up for the show. Same setup, same images etc.
I would think having the big images up front for the booth shot is not helpful, as we want the jury to look at our submitted artwork images, not the booth shot. Let them see it is clean, attractive, professional and not notice the images in it.
Just my opinion, I'm far from an expert on this point.
IMO large unusual pieces stop traffic in front of your booth. The rest will draw them in once their interest has been captured. In my case, saddles chinks or chaps do the trick.
