Title: [Help] Video Game Posters
Post by: Enginector on December 02, 2011, 03:28:14 PM

So I am an avid video game collector and wanted some posters of some game logos for my game room. The problem is I want them all to match, like they belong together. This means I am going to have to make them my self. I am somewhat decent with photoshop, but completely lacking creativity :D

So any creative people want to bounce around some ideas on how to combine these 3 things?

Things I like:

Minimalistic look

Lots of them seem to pop up on ebay.  I've had some good luck getting a few over the years, though to be honest, most of the ones I have on display either came from Nintendo Power magazines or were included with strategy guides.  I have an original Phantasy Star Online poster on my wall (about 20 x 28) that my sister-in-law found at a thrift store for 50 cents.  They're definitely out there!

I'd also recommend arcadeshock.com - they sell a lot of "new old stock" merchandise, including posters.  I have a few original SNK King of Fighters posters that I gor from there, and I highly recommend them!
