kustomkitten :

this is just an incredibly fuckin awesome idea. you know how every now and then you see something and it makes you think, "holy shit! I never would have thought of that!" well, this is like that. :o

newseamus :

HYNES :

cut and paste me up a real one and send it to me western union. I'd bet they'd freak. Great poster.

2003-08-14 01:50:22

raindog138 :

yeah handbills - color copies. probably actual size though which is cool.

2003-08-14 01:47:44

HYNES :

Yep you proved me wrong. I never would have thought...

2003-08-14 01:45:39

HYNES :

Ok that makes this poster even better. Proper even. Colour copies?

2003-08-14 01:44:46

MaximumFluoride :

I think Mike is right. They came out on a ticker tape and were pasteed onto the final document.

2003-08-14 01:42:41

raindog138 :

i think the words came out of a crude machine like that - on a strip.

2003-08-14 01:41:21

HYNES :

I appreciate hacks, saves time. I just dont see why an authentic telegramist would bother typing onto paper, cutting it up and then pasting it onto a telegram with a blank space that was already set up for typing the same message. I like the look better- I just think a real telegram has nothing to do with cut and paste.

2003-08-14 01:39:41

raindog138 :

well - i basically stole this from an image i found. look at the original date stamped to the right.
the words were pasted on just as such on the original.
i have been trying to tell everyone im a hack. no one listens.
:roll: :D :wink:

2003-08-14 01:35:37

HYNES :

Authentic? How so?

2003-08-14 01:32:36

raindog138 :

this is the authentic way actually.

2003-08-13 23:53:45

Platinum Rich :

i don't get why the type is pasted on.

2003-08-13 23:49:48

raindog138 :

thanks you very much Art and everyone.

Mike, You have not only achieved a successful departure from everything you've done heretofore, you have been paid a great compliment by the world's greatest living poster designer.

newseamus :

interesting

2003-08-13 17:21:21

HYNES :

very nice, I like the stuck on pieces with the typewriter font better than if it was typed directly to the telegram (which would have been more authentic but less visually exciting) Reproduction? please don't say colour copys.

2003-08-13 11:08:47

Darren Grealish :

Cracking design. Very nice attention to detail.
