1.)When you display your artwork, Would you rather have it mounted on a white matboard or black?
2.)If you photograph it..White background or black? Just wondering. I use both settings depending on the mood im trying to set. |

black is the standard for mounting design. i think it pretty much always looks better.
photography is trickier because mounting on black can visually desaturated your photos, esp if they are black and white since the darkest dark in your photo has to compete with the pure black of the mat board. |
