Framing

Framing brings attention to the design on the page and provides a stage for displaying images. Margins are used to protect the design from the frame and leave space for information that is needed like pages numbers. Narrow margins are used to make the design appear larger, where as wider margins are used to call attention to the design in the centre. 'Bleeds' is when an image runs off the edge of a page and this makes the image seem larger that it is. Bellow are some simple frames I created on Photoshop.

I used a narrow margin on the first frame to make the logo in the centre look larger. I also used a thick boarder as well, so it blends with the monochrome colours in the centre design. The thin red frame on the second image draws more attention to the design in the centre, as it contrasts with the red background colour.
