Looking for something new and different for a gift or party decoration?  What about a “Wanted” poster?  Your friend or loved one’s face and their “crime” staring out from a good old-fashioned, “needs to be hanging in the sheriff’s office” Wanted poster.    We at Larger than Life prints received a request several months ago for exactly this type of print.  After scouring the internet looking for just the right image and coming up empty-handed, we thought it was better to create a super high-resolution version of the template in case anyone wants a huge print again in the future.  So we did.

LTLprints.com is an open company.  We try very hard to be transparent about who we are, what we’re doing and why we are focused on certain projects.  In addition to our transparency one of the goals is to give back to the community.  We feel that a sharing community will generate more than the hording that is common place.  Based on search traffic, we can easily tell you that we’re not the only ones looking for a high-resolution wanted poster template to start from.  So, without further adu, here for the worlds consumption - a high resolution wanted poster template.

We only ask for a few things in return.

  1. If you use this file please please let us know by leaving a comment on this post.
  2. If you’ve made improvements to the base template send it to images [at] LTLprints.com so we can update this file for the group.
  3. Consider using LTLprints for your oversized removable wall graphic needs.
  4. Be nice to each other.  *** most important ***

We also hope that when you have something that you’ve invested some time into that others would enjoy that you share it openly and willingly.  We think it’s the right thing to do, how about you?  Leave us a comment to let us know what you think.   STAY TUNED for an upcoming post on how Larger Than Life prints used these Wanted posters to help a major charity with their fundraising efforts.

LTLprints.com - Design Competition

Category: Art, Design Competition, Events, PhiladelphiaCarsten @ 2:12 am Comments (2)

When we launched LTLprints.com we made it a priority to cultivate a community of designers - they will help bring core content to our catalog and customers.  One of the ways we are starting to do that is visiting highly passionate students at local Philadelphia art schools.  Earlier today we visited the Art Institute of Philadelphia (only 2 blocks away from our headquarters) and spoke to a number of impressive up and coming rock stars regarding the launch of the first ever LTLprints design competition.

We invited them to join our design competition and we would like to extend the same offer to you. Over the next four weeks we will take submissions to our online catalog - along the way stopping to smell the roses and meet you, the designers, through an interview on this blog.

Here is how it works;

  • Create your free LTLprints account
  • Use those creative genes to come up with any design that would make for a great wall print
    (art work, pictures, collages, shillouettes, etc…).
  • Upload a .jpg of your artwork and let us know that you would like it to be entered for the competition.

How to compete:

  • Send you Vector or Photoshop file to designcompetition [@] LTLprints.com
  • We want to meet you.  Send us a short bio and any links to your other online work.
  • Submissions must be received by Monday, February 23.

Who is the Jury?

  • The community, silly.   In a few weeks we will open up a voting system for submitted designs and you (and your friends, mom & dad, your coworkers, whomever you want) can come rate thumbs up on designs, the one with the most thumbs up wins.  Pretty simple, right?  Get your facebook groups ready!

What is in it for you?

  • The winner(s) gets his or her designs printed for free!
    1st place: Free 7ft large  (84”x52”)
    2nd: 5ft (60”x38”)
    3rd: 3ft (38”x24”)
  • Get exposure - we will try to feature every competing designer on this blog and we will do our duty to introduce you to our customers.  We pinky swear.
  • Bulk the resume!  We realize that not everyone competing is a student, but if you are, this is a great event to point to in those future interviews.
  • Oh, and don’t forget that you get to set your own design price associated with your work.  The design price is what a customer will pay you when they buy your print.  This is a value set by you, but most of our designers are pricing their work between $1 and $10.
  • The joy of helping a hard working startup get off the ground.  That’s worth something right?  Kama points or something… We’re sure of it!
  • A free beer at a Philadelphia pub of your choosing. Mmm. Beer.

When?

  • Submit your items latest by February 22, 11:59pm EST
  • Voting will end on March 8th.
  • Winners will be notified on this blog.

Questions?

  • We are here to help.  Leave any unanswered questions in the comment box below.
  • Or just contact us.

We’re super excited to get things rolling.  We hope you are too!

UPDATE:  Download this bio template and introduce yourself to the crowd.
