Learn how to frame and display your Terraria posters without damage. This guide covers framing tips, preservation methods, and wall arrangement ideas for game art.
Quick answer
Frame your Terraria posters using acid-free materials and UV-protective glass to prevent fading and yellowing, then arrange them in a layout that protects the paper while showing off the art.
Why framing matters for game posters
Unframed posters collect dust, get creased, and fade from sunlight. A proper frame keeps the paper flat, blocks airborne dirt, and reduces handling damage. For limited prints like the Journey's End Poster, a frame also preserves the silk paper's finish.
Skip cheap poster frames with thin plastic. They trap moisture and can cause the paper to ripple. Invest in a frame with a rigid backing board and a sealed back to keep out humidity.
Choosing the right frame size and style
The Journey's End Poster is A2 size (420 x 594 mm). Look for a frame that matches these exact dimensions to avoid trimming or leaving a gap. A snug fit prevents the poster from sliding or buckling.
Black or dark wood frames complement the game's pixel art style without distracting from the image. For a cleaner look, use a frame with a mat board that adds a border between the poster and the glass.
How to frame and display your Terraria poster collection
- 1. Prepare the poster: Lay the poster flat on a clean, dry surface. If it arrived rolled, place it under a heavy book for a few hours to flatten. Wash your hands or wear cotton gloves to avoid transferring oils to the paper. Do not use tape directly on the poster—it can pull off the ink later.
- 2. Choose a frame with UV glass: Select a frame that matches the poster's exact size (A2 for Journey's End) and has UV-protective glazing. This blocks most ultraviolet rays that cause fading. Avoid basic picture frame glass that offers no UV protection. UV glass costs more but prevents the poster from looking washed out after a year in sunlight.
- 3. Mount the poster using acid-free materials: Use acid-free mounting corners or photo corners to hold the poster in place. Do not glue or staple the paper. If using a mat board, make sure it is also acid-free to prevent yellowing over time. Acid-free materials add a small cost but extend the poster's life significantly.
- 4. Seal the frame back: Close the frame with the backing board and secure it with the frame's clips or tabs. For extra dust protection, add a sheet of acid-free paper or a foam board behind the poster. Seal the back with framing tape to block moisture. A sealed back keeps out dust and humidity, reducing the need to clean the glass.
- 5. Arrange and hang the collection: Plan a layout before hammering nails. Group posters by game theme or color palette, leaving at least 2 inches between frames. Use a level to keep rows straight. For a gallery look, align the top edges of all frames. Avoid hanging posters in direct sunlight or above heat sources like radiators.
