Mullion compensation? Few people outside the art world will have heard the term, even fewer understand the principle and its effects. That's about to change. Zazzle’s answer to the question “What is mullion compensation?” rocketed to the top of Google’s search results within days of launch.
This T shirt provides a very basic explanation and illustrates the application of mullion compensation, so read on.
The design features a red heart on a blue background that is split into three panels, referred to as a triptych in the art world. Imagine the heart and blue background that you see on the shirt painted on canvas and stretched over three separate panels, each with a frame, and wall mounted side by side.
Here's where Mullion compensation comes into play. The parts of the image that would be occupied by the space between the panels are moved to the canvas that is wrapped around the edges of each frame, so that the heart retains the proper proportions and flow between each panel when viewed from the side.
If you can't afford a wrapped canvas you could always buy this T Shirt. The text 'I Love Mullion' can be replaced with your own text. Use the Customize It button on the product page to personalize it further with different fonts and colors.
