I’d like some advice, if I can.

I'm planning on getting some former Apollo participants (non-astronauts) to sign some photos of themselves for a friend of mine. I'd like to put them in some sort of presentation but aren't sure how this could work out.

If it helps, I can make the photos to any size really so I'm flexible with what they could fit in/on. What I would say is that I'd like to make the photos big enough for something more than just an autograph, perhaps a personalisation.

I've probably been too vague here?

Perhaps a then and now theme.

Sorry, I should have been clearer — I was thinking of some sort of framed presentation or similar but don't know where to start?

I think we need a bit more information?! Are the Apollo participants flight controllers etc? Does your friend have a specific kind of attachment to the program?

Sorry, yes, mostly flight controllers. They helped him with his research.

Is there an established way of presenting, say, five to siz signed photos?

You could use a photo program like Gimp to design a photo collage of them all and have that signed.

I did a collage of photos from Michael Collins missions and added a quote by him and had him sign it at Spacefest. I did the same for Dave Scott too. Both of them remarked about how they liked the design and thought they looked good.

This is fantastic, thank you.
