Stage 4 of 4
On the wall
Sizes, frames and formats: what the paper actually is, and how big it needs to be.
This is the stage where the question stops being about motorbikes and starts being about a wall. Most of it comes down to two things people guess at: how the paper sizes relate to each other, and how much wall a print needs around it. Both have answers, and neither is a matter of taste. The paper sizes are a published standard, and the rest is measuring, so you don't have to stand back and hope.
