Book Design: Framing

I went to the McManus Gallery in Dundee to look for paintings that were made around the time period of the 1910s. Brian said my frames looked more Georgian and did not reflect the painting frame style of the 1910s. He suggested that I take a visit to the local art museum.

 Photos of painting frames from the 1910s

These are a series of photos I took of the framework of paintings from the 1910s. The frames were wooden and included straight geometry with curved decors between them. Some of the frames were different colours. With this reinforced research, I can still apply my Lovecraftian frame decor and still allow me to make it look like it was a painting from that time period.
