Looking for a world map to use as a backdrop for a photo booth for an "Around the World"-themed party. Would this work? Or is it clear?

it is clear, but you can hang a plain white shower curtain behind it. it's colorful and nice for a party.

It is clear, we use a white bath liner with it so you can see it better and that works just fine. So I guess it would depend on what you would use behind it (if anything).

Against a solid colored background, I would say yes. Everything that ISN'T part of the world is see through.

the backdrop seems to be a very good quality, however for this particular shoot I was looking for more of a blue gray as shown in the picture the grey background would be fine for another shoot but it just wouldn't work for me this time if you're familiar with the zone system I would say this would be Sixor or seven or closer on the grayscale

absolutely, it would save on editing a picture to either fill in the space. Having the larger backdrop will allow the photo to utilize more space.

The glass desk top may be used by itself. As stated by a previous respondent, it is heavy and it has the metal pads which would sit off the wall. With black and bold color markers, the map would recede. I think it would make a very attractive dry-erase board. The weight would be the biggest concern.

I have not yet even started using it in London, yet, leave alone outside UK. Sorry, I am unable to help you at this point. I may need that sort of help when I start using the world map when I visit Uganda and Zanzibar early next year. I wish I could help.

The shape is wavy and irregular as shown and ours measures about 11 x 17 in inches. I am not sure how to smooth it out, since it is shipped all rolled up. I like your idea about the cake, but it would need to nicely flattened out and used on a fairly good sized cake to look right. If it a smaller party, than they would make fun place mat and take home gift. My real complaint is that the back of the map looks like a cheap vinyl table cloth, and does lack imagination as a toy. I hope that helps.

We love it for the ambiance; don't buy it if you mean to use it as an actual map!! We have it in our office and it looks great...but you are not going to find your way home on it

I use mine for a larger map, actually. The black rails create a nice border, actually, and don't look wonky. Smaller should be just fine. You could also cut them easily if you were that worried, they're not especially thick.

It will work, but the images won't be as clean or be as visible. The cheap bread works the best, unfortunately, it is not so good for you...

Yes, works great. I have the same setup. as an example http://glissonimaging.zenfolio.com/p427149940/h672d194d#h672d194d

Apparently not: http://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3651326#forum-post-53452388(It works but vignettes and image quality is poor)

Hi Teresa,I built a custom frame with the help of my dad. I got decorative molding from home depot and painted it, and nailed it on top of a frame we created from 2x1s. We used spray glue to mount the map to a 1/2" piece of foam core, big pink one from home depot. then we backed the map with brown paper and used framing tape to tape the map to the back of the frame...much like you see from custom framing places. This allows me to put pins in the map, as they stick in the foam backing, and i have a great looking frame around it as well. it is the main piece in my living room, and i always get positive comments from people about it...fun conversation piece. Hope this helps. gf Hi Teresa,I built a custom frame with the help of my dad. I got decorative molding from home depot and painted it, and nailed it on top of a frame we created from 2x1s.

Hi,I used the easel for the same purpose - purchaed a 30 x 50 frame and displayed wedding seating chart. Easel is beautiful and very stable - I'm sure it will work fine for you on patio

Creative idea but I wouldn't recommend it. The surface is fairly slick and there's not a lot of room for signatures, and then you couldn't read the places listed on the globe, which would kind of defeat it's purpose! If you had just a few guests and used a Sharpie, maybe, but what if someone dropped the Sharpie or messed up with it?

It will work, but I believe you will have to buy the maps for that country.

I will install the international map for you. Just tell me with country you need when you order it. Thank you
