Presentation and backboard

My backboard has been simplified from my original plans so as to fit around the A4 object and it's foam casing. I will be printing the Illustrator document as a PDF on a large format printer in the visual communication department of the University. The paper to be used has a slight gloss finish, ideal for bringing out the intensity of the colour ink. Once I have secured my print to the foam bard, I may wish to reinforce the back of my board with MDF as there are gaps between the brass sheet and foam board. I will also decide whether to use acrylic on top of my graphics to protect my display board and object.
