I took a picture of my marine son and had a large poster made of it at 24"x60" and want to make a frame to put it in. I bought this frame off of ebay but when i tried to enlarge it to fit, the top and bottom get thinner and the r/l sides get real fat. I don't see anywhere in the design where i can surgically cut it to enlarge the parts seperately.

I'm not married to this particular design so If you can't tell me how to make this larger proportionally or know of a better design please post a link.
Or if you have design suggestions to help me make a custom design i'd welcome your suggestions. I initially thought of a Marine emblem at the top and SEMPER FI along the bottom

Send an email to the guy you bought the frame from. He may custom size one for you.

I would go with the initial thought of emblem and SEMPER FI I think the frame is to ornate for the picture. But thats just my taste.

Me personally I like the frame. My taste is for ornate type frames and have done a few, but thats just me. I would be interested in if the frame warped and how did you handle it if it did. I always wanted to cut this one but my walls are full and no one has ordered it YET.http://www.talkshopbot.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=29804&stc=1

If you scale it proportionately, can you get close enough that you can crop the picture to fit?
