ArtWanted.com Poster Idea - Need Feedback

Ok, so we have another idea that we want to get your thoughts on. There are so many great artists on our site and we are always trying to think of ideas to promote the artwork of our members. The idea we had is to create a series of ArtWanted.com posters featuring the artwork of our talented members.

These posters would be around 2x3 feet and feature between 20-40 images of a specific style or medium. For example, we could have a 'fantasy art' poster and a 'florals' poster and a 'photography' poster and so forth. The number of posters we create and the categories we select would simply be based off the demand & feedback we get.

We don't imagine that we would charge anyone to be featured on the posters, but they would be required to purchase a poster if they wanted to be featured on one. They would be high-quality posters that would really show off the talent on our site. Based off our preliminary numbers, the posters would only cost around $5-10 each.

The design would be pretty simple, mostly focusing on the artwork of the members. Perhaps it could be like the cover design of our book, only featuring more artwork.

Well, there's the pitch. Please let us know your thoughts, comments, questions, concerns, etc. As we said, this is just an idea, but we want to know what you think.

WESTERN ARTWORK By Denny Karchner 05 Feb 2005

"I'm there."

I was real impressed with how the AW Book came out...the "jury is still out" on the "Calendar Thing"...but I would love to see a great looking poster(s) published.

I would also love to take a shot at helping to design them, if that was a possibility.

Not a bad idea Denny. We will have you design the 'Western Art' poster, since it will feature all of your own art. :-)

Yeah! Art! Count me in - I think different subjects would be cool...

CRITTERS (dogs, wild animals, pets);

FAITH (from all kinds of cultures on one page: Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, Jewish);

SKY (clouds, sunsets, stars/planets)

ARCHITECTURE (ancient, historical, new, future)

PEOPLE OF THE WORLD (depicting various cultural/ethnic backgrounds)

Very cooll idea, AW!

I just deleted my last post, I think I got the wrong idea LOL!

Well count me in, I would love a poster, even if it didn't include my art, I think my purse will stretch to one :)

Sounds like a great idea. I'm in.

Speaking of the calendar...???? Maybe the Earth has fallen off it's axis and the new year begins July 1st now? Yeah, Yeah, that must be it.

Christina Toews 05 Feb 2005

Would you consider doing posters of specific *media* rather than type?

Would these posters say the artist's name and picture info, or would it just be a general collage of pictures... no text?

I would definitely be interested in helping out, love to have my art on a poster. If you need someone to design a colored pencil poster, or a wildlife poster, count me in! :)

How about a Surrealism poster? Bartzology?

sher richardson 05 Feb 2005

Juan Gomez 05 Feb 2005

Heck YAH!! I'm IN...

joan warburton 05 Feb 2005

Fantastic idea!

Could I submit two different images for two different type posters, for instance digital art and photography? Maybe one of them will get in this time, LOL! Just jokin' 'round, AW. I would purchase the posters even if my artwork didn't make it. It's enough to just rub elbows with the talented people up here.

Ellen Brucks 05 Feb 2005

I'm on board too. Will wait for details

Melissa Rinaldi 05 Feb 2005

great idea AW.....definitely IN........:) (I think design all should be linked somehow, a logo(aw) frame, color theme....etc) So they would look fantastic in groups(more than 1) :0)
