to all photographers/artists that sell to the public

seriously, guys. i'm going to help you out here. read carefully.

when you are selling photos or art, and tell the customer it is 'standard size', meaning they can fit it into a 'standard size' frame, MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT THE STANDARD SIZES ARE.

there have been waaaay too many customers being very angry, because the person they bought their art/photo from said it would be standard size, when in fact, it was NOT.

STANDARD SIZES INCLUDE:
8x10
11x14
16x20
22x28
24x36

those are the popular sizes that every store with a decent frame department should carry. measure your art, if it is not any of those sizes, THEN IT IS NOT STANDARD. there are few exceptions, we carry 11x17 and 12x17 and 10x13 in limited selections.

i'm helping you out here. would you rather have a customer come back and buy a few more prints from you, or get an angry call that they had to drop major money on getting that 12x19" pic framed cause there's no such thing as that size in standard?

sigh. that's all.

not that any of you, my friends, would do that, but i am just educating on what standard sizes are.
