Picture frames are physical or digital structures designed to hold and display photographs or artwork. They serve both decorative and protective purposes, enhancing the visual appeal of the displayed content while also safeguarding it from potential damage.
Physical Picture Frames: Physical picture frames are three-dimensional objects typically made from materials such as wood, metal, plastic, or even glass. They come in various sizes, styles, and designs to match different aesthetics and interior decor. Physical picture frames consist of:
- Frame Border: The outer part of the Picture Frames that surrounds the photo or artwork.
- Matting: A cardboard or paper border placed around the photo to provide an additional visual border and create a gap between the photo and the glass for protection.
- Glass or Acrylic: A transparent protective cover that shields the photo from dust, moisture, and physical contact.
- Backboard: The rigid backing that holds the photo and other components in place.
- Hangers or Stand: Attachments for hanging the frame on a wall or placing it on a flat surface.
