Opinions on how to frame my Maiden Ticket

[Spruce Goose]

You might remember that I got ticket number 666 for the 1st Sydney show. I got to keep the ticket and now want to get it framed. I bought a poster from the gig with the intention of framing it with the ticket (the poster is skinner than a normal one, but a little longer at 100mm).

So anyway, would love your opinions on what exactly I should do. I have done up these 2 in photoshop and dunno which one is better. Obviously #2 has photos but does it look visually appealing enough to include them? Any suggestions?

It is going to cost me a bit to get this done properly so I wanna make sure it'll look good before I give it to the framer.


1....

2....

 

[Iron Zombius]

I prefere the bottom one..... just my oppinion

 

[Shadow298]

option 2.

 

[Winmar]

Yeah option 2 is the go, I reckon.

 

[Shannow]

Option 3 IMO

 

[Shannow]

I reckon that the poster, in a silver frame, and the ticket in a gold frame, mounted either above or below the poster...IMO

 

[Southy]

Option 2 or Shannow's, maybe number 2

 

[Spruce Goose]

I wish the postter had the IRON MAIDEN logo at the top in one line instead of where it is... It would been so much easier to manipulate the photos and ticket at the bottom that way

2 = too tacky
1 looks really good

 

[Spruce Goose]

Cool mate. Why too tacky? What makes it tacky... maybe I can fix it up if ya tell us what ya reckon

 

[Shannow]

Is there enough room in the top right for the ticket, without getting into the shadows and stuff ?

Would sort of balance the Iron Maiden logo, and leave the two as discrete items.

I reckon it needs a snakelight around the frame fixed up with a chaser and one of those bobble-head Eddies you can get from this bar supplies place in Parramatta.

 

[Spruce Goose]

Nah...; I tried that. Doesn't really work at all unfortunately

 

[Goreripper]

Shame you couldn't work the lyric from TNOTB into it somewhere, or maybe the album cover instead of the photo. That's Xena's idea anyhow.

The other option is to frame the ticket with the Maiden Soccer jersey that I bought at the gig for $150..

 

[Winmar]

Don't ya wanna wear it?

 

[Spruce Goose]

yeah I do... Thats why the poster is my 1st option really... $150 was alot to pay to never wear it... But it would look kinda cool in a frame with the 666 ticket stub

 

[Spiff]

Are the photos from the show you went to? I think you should only use photos from the show you went to - like how when one gets a souvenir footy jersey signed by a grand final-winning team and it has photos around it, it has photos from that particular game.

Did you get a program? You could frame it with that instead.

 

[Spruce Goose]

Nah no program.

Yeah the photos are from the sydney shows
