Gobo projections may get affected by many factors viz.
1.The temperature and intensity of the surrounding lights.
2.Environmental lighting
3.Surface property & colour that the image is being projected upon
4.Angle,distance of light from the surface.

How big will the image be?
Image size is dependant on number of things. None of which has much to do with the gobo itself.
It has to do with the beam spread of the lighting fixture you are using and how far away you are from the projection surface.
