Professional Presentation of Finished Work
Color and quality can vary greatly from slide submission to
printer and from printer to printer. It is important
that the final artwork reflect what the jury has seen.
This often requires using a professional printing service
to make your final print. Large-format printers invariably
deliver better results.
Suggested professional print output:
- Iris prints
- Dyesublimation prints
- Roland prints
It is also important to have your final artwork professionally
framed and safely delivered.
-
While sometimes costly, we recommend that you have
your work framed by a professional framer.
-
Pieces should be matted with archival white mats.
-
Frames should be strong enough to both structurally
and aesthetically support the work.
-
Work that arrives at SIGGRAPH 2004 in substandard
condition may be pulled from the show or reframed
at the chair's discretion. Due to time constraints,
artists will not be contacted before their work is
framed.
Many beautiful artworks have arrived damaged because packaging
and framing were inadequate. When you build a crate to
ship your work, please follow these guidelines.
