My poster will be first and last from me. I just wanted to give something to show that I really enjoy your contest, palahniuk. But because of my lack of time, talent and ideas I will just visit forum from time to time and watch what you guys make, cause your posters are great :)
Most of us are taught from a young age to be winners and avoid being losers. But what does it mean to win or lose? And why do we care so much? Does winning make us happy? Winning undertakes an unprecedented investigation of winning and losing in society, what we are really after as we struggle to win, our collective beliefs about winners and losers, and much more. Victory and loss are not endpoints or final destinations but gateways to something of immense importance to us: the affirmation of our place in the world. Competition is unlikely to provide us with the answers we need. Winning and losing are artificial and logically flawed concepts that put us at odds with the world around us and, ultimately, ourselves
PS: I did not write that --> http://press.princeton.edu/titles/9340.html PS2: Awww thank you aril I thought I sucked with computers when I realised that I couldn't download the fonts too!
@Pala Hey, i didn't try to fool you. Look closer and you will see that your Robin Hood Poster is from a completely different movie than mine. Or do you really dare to compare some poster from a Ridley Scott flick to my ingenious work for the Michael Curtiz' classic with Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland????????? I didn't think so.
Do I have to be the cop around here ? Do you want me to distribute fines and penalities ?
Everybody comes to my office.
ARIL ! Stop whispering !
Your DEER HUNTER poster is going right to the trash. If you wanna pass your exam, here in The Palahniuk's Minimalist Design Institute, you will have to work harder.
DO NOT COPY OTHER ARTWORKS !
What did you think ? When I say I am the Eye In The Sky, it's no April Joke.
My previous students who made it at Pixar or Blue Sky NEVER, EVER copied other posters. Especially posters that EVERYBODY on the Internet already plagiarized !!!
Here is one :
And another :
And again, one more :
I close my eyes for today. But next time, Aril, you'll be grounded.
Wow Pala, are you calling me a cheater? You clearly don't know anything about my art. Your (poor) examples are posters on which you can see a photograph, when My poster IS the photograph!! They have absolutely nothing in common, I'm sure everyne here will agree with me on this.
Anyway, I agree on the aril case, she should be punished :)
You're all over me ! I want this contest to be nice and quiet.
And what do I have ? People cheating, scamming, arguing. People I have to survey DAY AND NIGHT !!!
I don't sleep anymore BECAUSE OF YOU !
Anyway. If you wanna go with Memento, find another idea. Because a polaroid with Memento written underneath it, in pink, in blue or - let's go crazy - in red : it's a well known minimalist Memento poster to me !
NOBODY IS GONNA ARGUE WITH ME. 'Cause I'm the one giving away memberships here ! And I don't even moderate horny guys like Bazzy !
Here's an idea for you : design a tattoo on a graphic arm or belly, put the title and you're done.
