Are you a FAN? Frame your hero! 

* In honor of Roger Federer winning the French Open we have extended this frame of the month into June. Congrats Roger! *

There are certain people we meet or learn about that become our heros. These indivdiuals are people we admire for a lot of different ways. They may have done a great deed, excell in sports, music, writing, leadership or a combination of other great traits. Heros give us the kind of inspiration we all need to help us achieve great things in our own lives.

This is a frame project we did for a big fan of tennis great, Roger Federer.

Our client had the joy of attending the US Open in 2008 and meeting him in person! The event was a memory she wanted to remember always so a shadowbox was the was to go.


Now on to the frame design details:

There are many elements in this box, the most important of which was the signed cap. The cap also determined how deep the frame would have to be. The interior was 4" and to achieve that depth we used two white frames, from Omega Moulding, stacked together.






Given the collage's tennis nature, choosing the blue background mat color was pretty straight forward. The idea for green matting on the sides was a grand slam though! The final "ace" was adding additional pictures in a film strip motif mimicking images from the US Open program article.

The frame was finished with TruVue's Conservation Clear Uv blocking glass and dust cover and hanger on the back.

Let us know when you are ready to frame your Hero!
