Question for rasterbators

oxygene · 20 Jun 2007 at 09:14

I have just finished taing down my last years rasterbation. I stuck it up with small blobs of bluetack, one per corner on every sheet. If my next house which I am moving too soon I am thinking of doing a very large one, as I have lots of wall space in my new bedroom, and as my previous ones removal took plenty of wall with it, I was wonder how other people stuck theirs up.
Also I had problems with the paper warping cause it was above a radiator. It wont be this time round. but I also hear the closer to the wall, the less warping.

So cmon then people, whats the best method to stick a hundred sheets of A4 to a wall?

Where are you getting these pics from? Printing them off the PC?

I would say laminating them would be a good idea.

I just use blu tack, but then again mine's only a 2*2 (A2) print.

I have a pic on the pc I use. Here I'll link:

Laminating would cost a shed load as I am planning to do it about 72 sheets.
Hopefully on a white wall this pic will look amazing at the size I am going for.

Had to do it

Like that picture oxygene, will probably look good Rasterbated, but if you're going to make it huge you need to be sure about it.

I took that pic myself

Its great in colour, but too expensive to do it that way. Its way too dark for my desktop, and I want something on my wall. Something big, something that just says 'wow' (NOT World of Warcraft).

If people have any other impressive pictures they would consider doing on a large scale pls do link them!

I want a rasterbation, the trouble is that i can't think of a picture to use for it.

platypus · 20 Jun 2007 at 10:28

I've just rasterbated Macgyver!

Again, how do you create it one?

Incarese the size and print in a app?

I wonder if it would work well with a world map.

oxygene · 20 Jun 2007 at 10:38

theres one in the gallery where someone did the world as a rolled out map. looked ok, but to keep the detail it would have to be big.

Have a look on www.sxc.hu (you have to register first) for some images. There's loads on there that would be great for rasterbation. Keep in mind the copyright etc of the photos on that site.

£47.00 for 400xA4 pouches and a free laminator from one of the office stationary suppliers.

Double sided sticky tape is the neatest and quickest way to go about getting your work onto the wall.

I did it with a world map. Cost a bomb in printer ink. If you're doing it in colour make sure the colour isn't too deep, otherwise it takes up more ink.
