Sure, you could get one of those tired old motivational posters. Or that picture of John Belushi in the “COLLEGE” t-shirt. Or something with The Simpsons on it. Yeah, you could spend an arm and a leg on a big photograph you bought at the store. Or, you could add your own personal touch with an enlarged, high-quality photograph that YOU took, or a slick drawing or design that YOU put together – FOR FREE! Ditch the usual and be original!
Online printing site Digital Room has announced a new contest for readers of The Practical Nerd! Contestants are vying for a FREE 18”x24” custom poster print – create a photo-quality poster from an enlarged photograph or custom design for FREE! Click here for more information on poster printing from Digital Room.
For hosting this contest, I will also be getting a free custom poster as well. There are so many cool options for using this, I’m not sure yet what I will be doing. I may pick a nice picture that I’ve taken and get it blown up, or I might just search around for a cool design online for them to use. The possibilities are endless! This is a chance for you to add an original, personal touch to your bedroom, office, or dorm!
