  1. P.S. It was extremely helpful to have Dean Westman collaborate with me on this. He gave me an inside look to the 2009 show and the poster just naturally came out of our discussions. He was a tremendous help, and one can't help but be excited by his enthusiasm. The Troopers are blessed to have Dean on the team!
  2. Now...that is useful information. THANKS! As someone who collects posters, how much would you pay for this if it was printed on an offset printer on a heavier weight paper (probably a 10pt. C1S) at the 18x24. Also, would you recommend selling just the poster or the option to have it custom framed? We're simply trying to get some feedback from DCP fans on what they would pay for something like this and what format works best for them.
  3. The period is officially gone. Thanks for the heads up on that.
  4. Is the period incorrect? or is it a stylistic preference? I most certainly want this to be accurate. As for posters being the perfect memorabilia...that is only the case if people buy them. What price point do you think a poster like this one should be at? The size is 24 inches wide by 36 inches tall. Also, do you think that is too big? What size would you suggest? As for the little bowing faces, I think you should take a few of them back and save them for when you see the Troopers this year. They're the ones who deserve it. I just push pixels around on my computer and make paper look fancy.
  5. I have been involved the past couple years with the Troopers, designing various materials for them including the show poster the past two years. As an alum of the Troopers, it is a real treat to be able to give back to the corps. Our goal is to take the upward momentum that is taking place on the field and move it into every aspect of how the corps is presented. The work still continues, but I must say that this is an organization that is clearly moving in the right direction. The reason for this thread is that I wanted to post a little higher resolution version here, and then provide a link for an even higher resolution one. I hope you all like it. Not sure if they plan on printing a large version this year or not. Honestly, I don't know how sales of the "Iron Horse Express" poster went last summer. From a marketing standpoint, corps can branch out and design products like a poster, and while people may like it--if they don't buy it, then that product line dies. I'm not sure if posters will ever take off no matter how well they're designed. Expect a great show from the Troopers this year! Click here for HIGH resolution poster.
