PORTFOLIO MODIFICATION

I've found it difficult finding the right card to mount my work on within my portfolio. I decided on thin mount board as this looked best but still can't get over the fact it's mount board and hate the look of the edges. I decided to try covering the mount board to make it look more 'done'. I decided on black paper as I felt this meant the background would blend into the portfolio box making the mounted images stand out.

I thought I would like the black more due to the contrast with the paper and the crochet edge. As I chose off-white to finish the edges I wash;t sure about how I felt it sat on the white paper. I assumed black paper would make it stand out. However now seeing them in the box I'm not sure which one I prefer, I think the black looks sleek and seamless whereas the white seems more traditional. I think when in the box the colours of the knit are more vibrant when mounted on black however side-by-side the white appears more eye-catching.
