    Need some opinions on whether or not to disassemble an item

    Hey guys, this is an offshoot of a question that I asked in my success thread, but here goes.

    I went to the philly sports festival yesterday hosted by comcast. I got Westbrook, Lidge, Touchette and World B Free. They did not allow outside items, and the promo item they gave was pretty crappy- pretty much a 12x18 poster printed on computer paper quality stuff. Disappointing. Here is how it came out:





    As I was looking at it (I am sometimes a very visual person), I got a crazy idea. What if I cut out the Westbrook signature in a rectangle (the auto measures about 5x7) and mount it in a frame with an 8x10 photo. I used photoshop to create a theoretical image of what the mounted westbrook would look like (imagine the image in color):




    And since the other part still has lidge, world b free and touchette, the remaining piece would be a perfect square measuring 10x10, so I could frame it. Here is what that piece would look like.





    So what would you guys do? Leave it as is in the first photo? Or divide it into the 2 other photos?

    I would say that if you are doing a cut make it four as those guys have nothing outside of Philly in common and that seams silly to me!

    Agreed, it's kinda ridiculous. It's a hard cut to cut out all 4 individually though, the way the guys signed it.

    Thanks! Just for some scaling, since it looks kinda small on the pic- that is a 12x18 frame, so it's a big item. I love the way it came out.
