Presenting my final prints

This is just something that i remember thinking about when i was putting my portfolio together for uni. I think that the presentation of the image as a final piece is really enhanced by the look of it on the page.                          So this is something i really want to think about before sending the images to print. I have done some templates to try and get an idea of what the images will look like and the space and size that they will be on my A3 print.

Something that i always think about after i was told it was to keep a bigger gap at the bottom of the image so that it makes it look centre. Other wise the image appears as though it has dropped. I'm not too sure if  this is true but i do like how it looks when presented like this and i always tend to use this rule. I don't know however what size i want the images. I think that I'm swayed more towards the larger image as it will show the detail clear and effectively you wont loose anything due to the smallness of the image itself. 

However you can leave an equal distance around the whole image. I think i prefer something that has maybe an inch or so boarder as then it doesn't over power you. I don't like it when it looks as though it is going to bleed of the page. I think that some negative space is needed around the image to let it breath and stand out.
