Looking for some guidelines on mounting prints.
<ol>
<li>How much margin should be left around a print? Or, put differently, on what size mat board do you mount moderately sized prints and find most visually pleasing? I'm mostly concerned with prints 20x24 through 8x10 in size.
<li>I've heard a couple of different takes on the "visual center" thing, but is there any rule of thumb that can be used to measure the vertical offset as a proportion of the mat or print size? Or do people just eyeball this?
<li>What method(s) do you use to center a print on its mat (including any vertical offset) without making pencil marks on the matboard?
</ol>
If there are any books that deal with this sort if thing in depth, I'd love to hear about those, too.
Thanks
