         2 . An image display apparatus as claimed in  claim 1  wherein a first edge of the second raised portion is arranged adjacent to a first edge of the first raised portion such that the second raised portion abuts against the first raised portion. 
     
     
         3 . An image display apparatus as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the first edge of the second raised portion is arranged adjacent to and spaced apart from the first edge of the first raised to portion to create a channel therebetween. 
     
     
         4 . An image display apparatus as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the apparatus further comprises a fourth raised portion having an upper surface upon which is secured a display panel, the fourth raised portion being arranged adjacent to the first raised portion on an opposite side to the second raised portion and each third raised portion has at least one inner edge arranged to surround a perimeter of the first raised portion, the second raised portion and the fourth raised portion arrangement such that the first raised portion, the second raised portion and the fourth raised portion arrangement is located within, and spaced apart from, said third raised portion to create a channel therebetween. 
     
     
         5 . An image display apparatus as claimed in  claim 1  wherein at least one of said raised portions is formed of a rigid durable material. 
     
     
         6 . An image display apparatus as claimed in  claim 5  wherein said rigid durable material is a sheet of plastic. 
     
     
         7 . An image display apparatus as claimed in  claim 1  wherein at least one of said third raised portions is formed of two or more component portions. 
     
     
         8 . An image display apparatus as claimed in  claim 1  wherein each third raised portion has an upper surface to which a mounting panel is secured. 
     
     
         9 . An image display apparatus as claimed in  claim 8  wherein each mounting panel has at least one inner edge arranged to surround a perimeter of the first raised portion and the second raised portion such that each image and content is located within and spaced apart from a mounting panel such that a channel is created therebetween. 
     
     
         10 . An image display apparatus as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the image is arranged to overhang the edge of the first raised portion. 
     
     
         11 . An image display apparatus as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the content is arranged to overhang the edge of the second raised portion. 
     
     
         12 . An image display apparatus as claimed in  claim 8  wherein the mounting panel is arranged to overhang the third raised portion. 
     
     
         13 . An image display apparatus as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the backing panel is formed of a rigid durable material. 
     
     
         14 . An image display apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , the apparatus further comprising: a frame, the frame being secured to the backing panel and sized to provide a channel between the outer edge of the third raised portion and the inner edge of the frame. 
     
     
         15 . An image display apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the backing panel is formed of at least a partially reflective material.
