Talk:Poster

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eloquence, I assume that poster was chosen entirely because it is particularly illustrative of the concept of "poster", and had nothing to do with the specific nature of the content? :) --Robert Merkel 03:29 11 Jul 2003 (UTC)

There's a usage I see referring to presentations at conferences that probably deserves a separate entry. --robotwisdom 16:08, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Exhibition Disambiguation

There was a link to the disambiguation page, which I have changed to "art exhibition". This may be wrong as I have no idea what a colonial exhibition is to be honest. If something else suits it better, please correct to the right page. If nothing does, please dlete the link. Thanks in advance. LeeG 18:21, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Motivational Posters

Does anybody know who came up with the trend of motivational posters and how to add things in the main page Here are some links to several motivational posters [1] as well as a generator for them [2]

[edit] to do

this article needs:

  • more on poster printing techniques and paper types
  • a better conference poster picture & a picture of a wall with movie or music posters
  • a section on poster collecting
  • types of posters grouped logically
  • better history and references

[edit] long history section

is a copyvio from here: http://eng.plakaty.ru/remarks?rem_id=6 I'm working on cleaning it up, help appreciated. -- phoebe 08:05, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] merge

I suggest a merge from poster art, which has some useful information but also duplicates this article in part. --phoebe 23:50, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] question for page editor

Hi Phoebe, I'm a librarian at Colorado State University Libraries. I see you have added a link to our digitized International Poster Collection. We're researching the use/value of links in Wikipedia to our digital collections and would like to know how you came to know about our collection. There has been much talk by Wikipedia editors about libraries and museums adding external links to collections such as this. Our statistics clearly indicate traffic refered from Wikipedia for this collection, which, of course, we feel is a good thing. Thanks for adding the link! Nancy Hunter 17:19, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Brave printing?

The article refers to "brave printing" during the post-Soviet revolutions. Is that a typo, or just an expression I don't know? CarlFink 21:23, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
