OR, depending on how big the paper is, size-wise, take the whole page maybe?
If you take it to a framer, bring the whole issue. Show him or her. And discuss it. When the boys (in my kid's band) got a great live review published somewhere, or a good album review or some write-up, I had several options. Sometimes we took the front cover of, say, "Billboard" magazine or something, and then the page where the band's item appeared - or the write-up, cut out and placed with the cover. If it was from a newspaper, the mast head on the front page definitely, and then the article itself cut out and placed with it. Talk to the framing person and give him or her the material and tell them what you want. If they're any good, they'll understand the significance - these people frame certificates and testimonials and special event stuff all the time. They'll play with it and see what looks best. I have a friend who's a framer, and he'll take my stuff and lay it out on his big work table and play with it - "we could put this here, or do it like this, or how do you like it at an angle," or any number of approaches. Often these framer people can also be artists, so they may have some great display and composition ideas. Definitely make use of that!
After all, it's your FIRST ONE! It deserves special treatment!
