Make your own sweet posters with the Rasterbator...
 
Here: http://homokaasu.org/rasterbator/

I made this one:

http://www.paul.modded.me.uk/bruce2.jpg

Which they have featured in their gallery as "An extremely cool image"

My tips for making good posters:

- Make sure your printable area on your printer is set to maximum
- An image that doesn't depend on colour to be what it is
- An image of around 600px wide or height works best
- Spread over a large amount of pages.

Close up of what the poster looks like:

This is one of my first posts here so hope its in the right section etc :)

Enjoy. Paul

thats what i was thinking... then i realized one of the computer labs on campus has free printing :D

Yeah!!! I could abuse Work Printer resources, but in this day and age of downsizing, and cost-cutting I think I'll use the school's resources instead.

I was thinking the same thing. But that is really cool though!

Didn't work for me. After I picked my image to upload, the flash player froze or didn't load right. Did it on both IE and Mozilla

iccky 03-29-2004 06:58 PM

This is sweet. And the ink cartriges at my college computer lab are sooo soooo cheap.:crazy:

Destrox 03-29-2004 07:08 PM

this is so cool, time to browse upon some of my favorite cartoons and get a few good caps.

Mondak 03-29-2004 07:31 PM

Don't want to waste an ink cartrige? Kinkos is $0.06 for B&W prints of PDFs. They will rue the day my 49 page PDF came in for the grand total of $2.94.

I will commit to only use this power for evil. . .

JStrider 03-29-2004 08:52 PM

hahaha well im off to print mine out... all 98 pages of it :D i'll have to post pictures....

WarWagon 03-29-2004 09:11 PM

I'll give you credit if you've got a wall big enough for 98 pages in a dorm!

feelgood 03-29-2004 09:21 PM

sweeeeeeeeeeeet, now I gotta find a picture to do something like that..

Somehow, I don't think my parent is gonna be happy with my nude pic of lena...

Xiomar 03-29-2004 09:22 PM

Wow.. That IS pretty bad ass. As for the price of ink.. Doesn't matter. My printer hates me and refuses to work.

... not on the wall... on the ceiling...

but yah i was printing all 98 pages at once at the library... and some guy was getting pissed saying it was taking forever and was all the same shit on every page... and then some girl was asking what it was... so i said "its an art project, you put it all together, step back and it makes a big picture" and she thought that was cool... then after they left an employee that had heard me came up and said "if that guy gives ya anymore trouble lemme know and i'll deal with it... its your printer as much as it is his"

hehe it was kinda funny... but i felt pretty bad about holding everyone up... i thought those printers were usually a lot faster...

ariekitten 03-29-2004 10:08 PM

neeto...
those 'brary puters are slow as hell....
but free :D

bermuDa 03-29-2004 10:56 PM

fnaqzna 03-29-2004 11:16 PM

That's just too cool... going to have to find something to use that with.

Must... not... hump... paper... Britney...

A couple of years ago I SO wanted an easy solution to this... I had converted a large image to ASCII characters, which IMO looks way cooler. The end solution was to use InDesign, which had a feature to print characters over the course of many pages. I now have a huge Tom Waits on my wall. Looks cool.
I am so going to try this, though! Thanks for the link.

Cynthetiq 03-30-2004 07:24 AM

well, now I can wallpaper my walls :)

You need the very latest flash player avaliable here

GT3_GOD 04-02-2004 08:16 AM

Woah, have you guys seen this

Some guy has done his entire ceiling with one, if only I didn't live with my parents I do something similar.

PulpMind 04-02-2004 07:52 PM

kick ass! I now have a reason to buy more ink cartridges...

MSD 04-03-2004 07:03 AM

I knew the deserted computer lab on Saturday morning wouuld be good for something.

WTF?! Macromedia installs an old version of Flash when I click the link.

CSflim 04-03-2004 10:16 AM

Thats pretty damn cool! Thanks for the link!

Strange Famous 04-03-2004 11:30 AM

I made a giant Anna Faris poster :)

flamingdog 04-03-2004 12:29 PM

I think I'll do one at work :) Moving into a new flat in a couple of weeks, would be grand to do something cool like that on one of the walls. Just need to find the right image...
