It's been a while since we've had some new posters, no?



This is a brainstorm thread for the upcoming CALVINBALL poster pack.

The theme here is
-imposing / removing rules in public spaces
-creating the illusion (or reality!) that the reader is in the middle of a game

(we'll also include some miscellaneous meme bombs and fun stuff)

Please toss out any and all ideas. Discussion of ideas will lead to new and better ones. Then we'll make a sexy PDF.

(other calvinball comics located here, by the way)

AWESOME  :mrgreen::mrgreen:

i live for this shit. really, tinkering with "the rules" is something i've done all my life (and quite possibly the reason why i never was any good at playing sports).

okay, i told you about the GASM Businesscard idea I had, right? I'm going to incorporate this with that. right after i'm done posting a thread about that idea for the rest of the class.

(hold on)

back.

so i have a bunch of cardboard cards here, that i got from the supermarket (they're the cards you can write your personal ads on, but the backsides are blank, so they're very useful for being generic cards).

i'll write these things on it a couple of times and then come up with some new stuff, and leave it around at places or something.

...

i'm kind of tempted scribbling an URL or some kind of short phrase/codeword on these cards. got any ideas?

:mittens:

but shouldn't the bottom line be "You may use your cellular device-"?


or should the whole sign be opposite
"CELL PHONE USAGE FORBIDDEN IN THIS ZONE"

no. "type B" cell phone use is "no use at all"

Hmm, how about an official looking sign, like the cellphone one that says:
This is federal property, any unauthorised persons found trespassing will be detained

Or something similar, placed at entrances to parks, malls, etc
It's not trolling, it's just satire.

pretty good so far.

It might help to think about what rules and games are already taking place on the street.

this is an official WIN thread. +7 points for everyone that posts a good idea ITT.

;-)

i still like my idea of using small cardboard cards with these rules, but i want a sort of overall connecting thing to it, like a (google-able) keyword or an URL. anybody got any ideas or do i need to grind over this and get original all by myself? ;-)
