I have about 50 images (so far) that I'd like to print and hang in 6" squares in our office. Kind of like a client list showcase.
I'm thinking of dry (or spray) mounting them all on foam core, and then hanging them in a grid.
One strategy is mounting a board near the ceiling, then drop lines (fishing or steel) down from the board and clip each image onto the cord.
The other option is to put 50 nails in the wall and just hang them traditionally.
What else do you recommend? Any photos of similar projects?
(All the images are logos, and we'll probably add another 50 by the fall, so this will have to grow with us!)

Here are some tips I came across from Metafilter:

whatever you decide, can you post up pics when it is complete?

Sure thing dobs.
I just found this CD case arrangement as well. Note quite what I was looking for, but pretty cool nonetheless.

Wow, this is actually pretty close... He uses clock chains to string up wood blocks.

Another thing I like is that he used a photo service to print all of the images... So they're all perfectly even. Not squares, but that might do the trick. Very nice. I just wonder how this would grow with me.

Yeah, that's nice. Here's another with the same concept:

- What model is that? Is it the DEKA? Looks nice. I wonder how long I can get the cables.
xrusos - Ahh, it's DIGNITET. Very similar.xrusos
- Wow, DIGNITET is over 16ft long! Now that's a big difference. Looks like DIGNITET is the one for me. Thanks for pointing it out.xrusos

- They say it's just for nylon, but since my art won't weigh more than a few ounces I think we'll be fine.xrusos
