A metal poster is formed with an integral frame which is relief printed on the obverse face of a sheet metal plate with layers of UV curable inks. Image indicia imprinted on the plate is surrounded by the relief printed frame. The ink layers extend into selvage areas of the plate. The selvage areas are folded over to the rear face of the sheet metal plate to provide the frame with relief printed rounded peripheral edges.

A poster board whose central region is thicker than its peripheral region. The peripheral region having a reflective and refractive surface that provides iridescent color hues within a rainbow spectrum. The reflective and refractive surface may contain a holographic pattern of geometric shapes of different sizes and shapes. The reflective and refractive surface may give rise to spaced apart bands with each of the bands containing the rainbow spectrum of color hues.

Display systems and methods are provided to utilize material, particularly needlework material such as canvas work or surface embroidered material, to mat or decoratively surround a piece of artwork for display. Such material is stretched and held in place by the display system so as to provide a desirable aesthetic result. The display systems are easily removable or changeable, allowing customization. Likewise, such display systems may be used with conventional frames.

A decorative mount includes at least a frame and a decorative plate. The frame includes a base, a sidewall extending from a front surface of the base, and a first pair of slots defined on opposing sides of an inner surface of the sidewall and spaced away from the base. The decorative plate is made of a flexible and resilient material and includes a front surface having a decoration, a rear surface, an outer edge, and a pair of plate tabs extending from opposing sides of the outer edge. The pair of plate tabs fit within the first pair of slots releasably retaining the decorative plate to the frame. A space is defined between the decorative plate and the base.

A frame cover apparatus for decorating frames. The apparatus comprises a set of edges and faces, a gripping member, and an expansion and compression edge. The apparatus further comprises a plurality of layers and a modular end with an attachment interface. The apparatus attaches to frames, borders, or edges of objects.

A display for mounting in a location subject to subject-sensitive ambient lighting includes a substrate. An artwork image, a molding image and a shadow image are printed on the substrate. A gap area is defined between an inside edge of the molding image and an outside edge of the artwork image so as to appear as a floater frame. The shadow image appears as an actual shadow in a real floater frame that has been subject to the subject-sensitive ambient lighting. The substrate is mounted on a stretcher bar frame. In a method of generating a display, a digital image of a molding assembled into a floater frame, an artwork, and a shadow that would appear in a real floater frame that has been subject to the subject-sensitive ambient lighting is generated. The digital image is printed onto a substrate. The substrate is mounted onto a stretcher bar frame.

The invention constitutes a device in which flat artwork, like drawings, woodblock prints, photos and posters can be mounted, having the properties that the artwork easily can be circulated from archives into and out of the device without being damaged by mounting. It is, basically, a frame with a back support in the form of a board that can be opened and closed like a door whereby the artwork is mounted by pressure from this board without using tape, photo corners or glue or any other potentially harmful methods.

A calendar frame assembly includes a frame that may positioned on a support surface thereby facilitating the frame to surround a calendar. A plurality of pockets is provided and each of the pockets is coupled to the frame. Additionally, each of the pockets may insertably receive a photo. Each of the pockets is comprised of a translucent material such that the photo in each of the pockets is visible. A plurality of strips is provided and each of the strips is selectively written on. Each of the strips is removably positioned in the frame and each of the strips is visible through said frame.

A picture-frame system for securement to a flat-surface. The picture-frame system includes a first-layer defined by a first front-surface and a first rear-surface having adhesive thereon; and a second-layer defined by a second front-surface and a second rear-surface having an adhesive thereon. The picture-frame system is useful for displaying a plurality of different size/shape pictures in one picture frame.

A digital photo frame, comprising a display monitor (10), a frame body (20), and a back cover (30), wherein the display monitor (10) is arranged at the front surface of the frame body (20), and the back cover (30) is arranged at the rear surface of the frame body (20), wherein the digital photo frame also comprises an ambient light strip (40), wherein the ambient light strip (40) is disposed around the frame body (20), and corresponding to the ambient light strip (40), a translucent cover strip (50) is arranged on the frame body (20), and correspondingly the light emitted by the ambient light strip (40) is projected outward through the translucent strip (50).
