What up ksteezy. My wife & I visit this site regularly for interior design, DIY, tech, cooking, & ideas for our 7 year old son. It's called ApartmentTherapy.com. It's a good site. Let me know what you think...

The random look is very hard to pull off.
In your case even spacing between all pictures would make a world of difference.
Also, I would stick with white or black frames. You have too little to mix-match.
If you did want to mix-match, really mix it up with colors, materials, size, etc.
*EDIT* Mind blown - never thought I would see apartment therapy mentioned on NT

It's a good site though. My wife & I originally came across the site to get some ideas for our son's room & also one of his birthday partys. We ended up going back to it regularly...

clean edges are a must. Maybe using the edges to make a ghestalt effect since all the elements in your set aren't the exact same. Try arranging them to color values like from heavy to dark or something likewise

Make the exterior "border/frame" a rectangle, and work from there.

But i would put all the big pictures together, maybe form a "T" and under the wings of the T organize the other frames in order of size.
Like that

No offense, I have no problem with you like alot of other NTers.. but this is just purely pathetic... It's almost like you are trolling your own wall with such horrible placement...

^^^ why do you think Im asking for help?
Totally missing the point of the thread....settin up a gallery is actually harder than I thought.
Just bOught about 6 more frames, will go to home depot to pick up some paste to refill all the holes I made on that wall and restart my project.

And what about your girlie man?? She can't hold that down for you??
Sidenote: I'm not really feeling that clean edge look. It does absolutely nothing for the wall or the frames/pictures themselves. Maybe in that picture, it's just not letting the wall breathe enough around the edges of the pictures. Like it should be more balanced between the floor and the ceiling. I'm not saying the clean edge thing can't work, just not like that picture above.
Organized randomness FTW however.

Sup fam, a small update, I fixed up the wall...took down the frames and used the advice given here to first set them up on the floor and this is the neatest arrangement I could come up with...

^^ that looks good Steezy.
Personally I'd have stuck with one colour for the frames, but that's just me. (I'm anal with these things too lol)
Also, I'm sure the dudes in the Bachelor Pad thread would have been glad to help. We're all a happy family in there <3
Some inspiration... I think it really depends on the look of the room as well. The ones below generally get away with the asymmetrical pattern but I can see the potential for some places to look messy if it's not done right/not in line with the rooms' style.

I personally like a larger variety of frames but that is my taste.
Here is my 'collection'
Oh yeah, I actually attached those with doublesided tape. Works excellent in my opinion. If you don't touch them they will do fine, and they are easily replaced by using a little force.

Me too. I can usually find things I want if I search hard enough but I can't find this anywhere.

Quick update...started hanging them up and I'm already so happy with the way is coming out, with the help of your suggestions NT...I also purchased this hang&level tool from home depot, this thing makes your life a million times easier when it comes to correctly leveling and nail/screw placement...it takes me 1 minute to properly hang a frame as opposed to at least 10 minutes it used to take me, plus no pencil marks and extra holes on my wall.
