Today after finishing painting the boards I attempted to place the drawings on the left edge instead of the alcove considering Gary’s advice.
This position seemed more commanding of the space and utilized the whole room. When placing the drawings in the indent it was too close to the door and would be bypassed by the viewer as it existed in an awkward place.
Another difficult task was getting the projection to fit the drawings. Even after cutting the drawings to the specific size of the projection the sizes did not match perfectly.
