i was just browsing the forums, and i see some of you guys got really nice framing setups going on. ive never framed anything before, and i dont want to end up spending an arm and a leg, since i got a few posters to frame
im thinking of getting this for a frame ($20)

with a (probably cream) "mat" which is like another $8.
do i need anything else? an "acrylic" is another $10.. they come in tons of different varieties and thicknesses but i have no idea if theyre necessary or what they function for (and if i did get one, what thickness id need).
im just a college student, so its not like im a master decorator - any nicely framed dmb poster would be perfect for my purposes. and lastly, once i have all these materials, do they all come together easily, or do i need some sort of fancy glue or anything like that? like i said i have absolutely no idea what im doing, so any help is greatly appreciated!!!
also, i just noticed that the thickness of the frame and everything is stressed. i imagine this is a big deal if im framing like records or something, but do i need to worry about this for a thin poster? or do i need to get some sort of filler to take up all the extra space?
