A poster is any piece of printed paper designed to be attached to a wall or vertical surface. Typically posters include both textual and graphic elements, although a poster may be either wholly graphical or wholly text. Posters are designed to be both eye-catching and convey information. Posters may be used for many purposes. They are a frequent tool of advertisers (particularly of events, musicians and films), propagandists, protestors and other groups trying to communicate a message. Posters are also used for reproductions of artwork, particularly famous works, and are generally low-cost compared to original artwork. Another type of poster is the educational poster, which may be about a particular subject for educational purposes.

Many people also collect posters, and some famous posters have themselves become quite valuable. Collectors' posters and vintage posters are usually framed and matted. Posters may be any size.

How do i remove old poster mounds from the wall?
Q. i'm painting my room so i am currently preparing the walls to paint. when i took all of my posters off the walls, some of the poster mounds (very sticky white squares) are stuck on the wall still and i have no idea how to get them off. they have been there for years so they're probably stuck on the wall pretty good. also, how would i get old tape off the wall that's been there for years as well? thanks!

A. use a sharp scraper to take off the mounds then if you have marked the wall fill with a fine smooth plaster or filler then sand around the area to blend in same goes for the tape remove fill then sand

How can I get a poster made from a book cover for a birthday present?
Q. I am trying to get a poster made from an old book cover for my brother's birthday. He has always said that it is the best cover art of all time. Any ideas how I can get his done, I found an almost mint condition copy of the book, cover has a couple of scratches. Anywhere I can get a high quality scan/touch-up done. I found a place online that makes posters, I just need the scan. Thank everyone for any help.

A. Thats real sweet. I did something like that. I went to a copy shop and had them blow up a page of a book (it was a picture of a watercolor painting) onto a 11 by 17 piece of paper (it cost about 3 bucks) and then because the edges were nothing worth looking at, I framed it in an 11 by 14 frame (about 6 bucks at walgreens) Worked out well for me Good luck - hope your brother has a happy birthday
