My budget for the whole exhibition printing, framing, a book, business cards etc is £200.
I have started by looking at DS Colour Labs.
For 8 14" by 14" poster prints it would come to around £46 which i thought was really good, i think the size would be just right.
I then looked at frames to fit this size photograph, the nearest i could find from Ikea was 50 by 50 cm which is around 36" by 36"obviously too large although i could use a white border around the edge. For my 8 images it would cost £160 just for framing and then the £46 for prints.
Another option i have considered is acrylic blocks. On DS Colour labs they have Acrylic Panels 5mm or 10mm thick in a floating style which means they sit ever so slightly off the wall. These are expensive although as they are acrylic blocks you would not need frames. I have considered my options and feel it would be more beneficial and look aesthetically pleasing to have the acrylic panels so i plan to only print 4 out of my 8 images resulting in me paying £166 without needing frame. I also wouldn't be able to fit 8 16"x16" prints into the 4ft x 4ft space we have be allocated.
I feel four 16"x16" acrylic panels will fit perfectly into the 4ft x 4ft space allocated along with the book i have made and my business and post cards.
My total mock up has come to £221 only £21 above my target budget.
