height 30 cm x width 40 cm external [ ratio:.75 ] mount margins __ top and sides margins 6 cm _ base margin 6.7 cm window internal __ height 17.3 cm x width 28 cm [ ratio:.617857 ] The base margin is 0.7 cm greater than top and sides margins to allow for necessary mechanical and optical 'lift' effect when mounted artwork is placed in a frame. For ease of handling and transport in cars or small vans the 'poster size' frame at 70 cm x 100 cm or 100 cm x 70 cm is a recommended maximum picture frame size. This size would provide for broad window mount margins at 16 cm top and sides with 16.7 cm base margin, suitable for working off a 50 cm x 70 cm monoprint plate. This leaves only a narrow mounting margin of 1cm each side. These margins provide a landscape format image area at 37.3 cm height and 68 cm width. As a portrait format the image area is at 67.3 cm height and 38 cm width. 15cm x 20cm, 20cm x 25cm, 30cm x 40cm, 40cm x 30cm, and the 50 x 70 cm, 70 x 50 cm frames will mount images conforming quite closely to a proportional ratio of 1:1.618 This particular numbers ratio was identified and discussed by Leonardo da Pisa, known as Fibonacci, as being coincidental in number ratios to the Pythagorean geometric ratios of 'golden proportion ratio of lesser to greater'. : golden-proportions ( ratio 1:1.618 ) window mounts sizes for limited edition numbered prints with measurements : 25cm x 30cm : : 30cm x 25cm : : 40cm x 50cm : : 50cm x 40cm : : 50cm x 40cm IKEA bold margins window mounts sizes for monoprints links to two larger size illustrations of small monoprints below : 8.6cm x14cm ( aprox. golden proportions ratio ) in window mount 15cm x 20cm and framed : 14cm x 9.5cm in window mount 20cm x 15cm and framed window mounts cutting plans : 60cm x 80cm, with a 40cm x 50cm and a 25cm x 30cm : 70cm x100cm, with a 50cm x 60cm, a 30cm x 40cm with a 15cm x 20cm and two at 20cm x 25cm : 70cm x 100cm, with a 50cm x 70cm, 30cm x 40cm and a 15cm x 20cm panels with fillet around and framed : 40cm x 50cm, 50cm x 70cm and 60cm x 80cm, window mounts sizes list range of standard sizes with window mounts margins' measurements and links to illustrations studio notes about practicable matters of standard sizes of stock and goods delivery |
