 "101 Dalmatians: The designer uses the circle and two lines of the grid to make the number 101" This one is just the worst.

HTJ posted:He’s got all the best lines: Designer’s brilliant minimalist posters for classic films using just a circle and stripes Oh gently caress everything about this. The captions trying to legitimize them are the worst. [Fake edit: Besides, if he was a true designer, he wouldn't bother with the circles. He would just make do with lines.  Like this:  Drive: The designer used lines to show the trail the tires leave when protagonist Driver takes off in his car.  The Amazing-Spiderman: The designer captures the grace of Spider-Man jumping from building to building with only one line and two colors.  Citizen Kane: The designer recreates the iconic scene of the Kane's speech with only a few lines. The black background not only represents how the character is overshadowed by the large portrait of himself in the background but also accurately captures the iconic color palette of the film. asecondduck fucked around with this message at 16:11 on May 27, 2013 |

That's because it is a freakin' dinner plate with utensils. Not much of a design genius if he doesn't know what his designs actually resemble. Also, creating the number 101 with some lines and a circle? I didn't think it was possible, but he's done it!

MikeJF posted:Dreamcast? The Death Egg storyline remains very dear to my heart. Maybe it just reminds me of a simpler time in my life. Maybe it's just that it's the perfect combination of 'serious' storyline and cartoon whimsy. Every effort is made in that game to showcase the Death Egg as this huge badass destructive thing, which it is, but it's also a Death Star parody with a motherfucking mustache. I don't know when Sonic stopped holding that joy for me and started being that thing I associate with horrifying fan art and depressing furries, but I do not appreciate the switch. As usual, the Internet ruins everything.

This seems like the best thread to ask… Do you guys have any places you recommend for buying frames online? I have a ton of film posters and now that I'm not a college student I don't feel right displaying them without frames. I'm pretty cheap when it comes to these things, so cheaper is better. Also, I have a 1' × 3' Robby the Robot poster and I cannot find a frame that size anywhere. Thanks!

You'll also need a framing service for something like a 1'x3', because it'll need a matte cut for it. You can cut your own mattes if you want, but it's a pain in the rear end and most framing places will give you cheap (sometimes free) mattes if you buy something slightly pricier than an off the shelf piece of poo poo frame that will fall apart in a year. It's always better to spend slightly more on a custom frame too, as the off the shelf frames are ugly as sin, and are built about as strong as a house of cards. Places like Michaels have framing packages in a Good, Better, Best system, so you can pay as much as you're willing and still get a good discount.

I don't know what their costs are compared to other framing places, but if you do go to Michaels check their website beforehand because every week they have a 50%+ off coupon for custom framing. It's just good advice in general for anything involving chain craft stores, they hand out coupons like candy so if you have the patience to buy things one at a time you can save a fuckload of money on all your crafty little things.

If you have an A.C. Moore near you they have ridiculous sales on their poster frames every now and then to compete with Michael's (my mom works at one :V).

I usually just buy cheap plastic frames from Wal-Mart or Target. They're just black plastic but the price is right and they're plenty durable.
