And now, a self-serving post...

I could use your feedback on something for my thesis. See these two frames below? I'm making some frames with labels on the sides. I'm going to photograph teaching artists "in action" with these frames, the idea being that they have these shifting identities that frame how their work can be viewed.

SO HERE'S THE QUESTION: Which is more readable -- the text facing outward or inward (i.e., does it make more sense to have the upside-down label be on the top or bottom part of the frame)?? Pretty please comment with whether you think A or B is the more readable version. Thank you so much!!!

  1. Definately A... Unless the pictures will be handed out to people to be looked at in groups, then B is more "interactive," in that it kind of requires the viewer to pick it up and turn it around... But if it's just for looking at, then A is much more readable.

  2. Oh sorry, yeah, I'm gonna take pics of people holding the frame in different positions, so we'll rotate it a bunch for the different shots. Hope that makes sense...

  3. Frame A, because we read clock-wise generally. right?
