Proposed Words for GCA Typographic Poster
« on: November 14, 2010, 12:21:48 PM »
On Forrest's 11th anniversary poster thread I suggested a typographic poster where relevent words are randomly shaped to form an image.  What words or phrases would you submit for such a poster?  A few examples:

Pizza Man
Merion Debate
Old Dead Guys
Tillie
Frilly Bunkers
Beardpullers
Redan
Minimalism
Golden Age
Butt Boys
Road Hole
Augusta Effect
Fast and Firm
Uncle Bob
Golf's Most Beloved
The Philly School
Ashkernish Rabbits
NLGA
Sandpines

How about it?

Why didn't I win more? I was the world's worst putter. If I had thought on the putting green the way I did for the rest of the game, none of these guys would have won a tournament. Everybody tried to help me, even some of my enemies. They felt sorry for me. Some of the guys would say they don't know how Mehlhorn could go out and play the next day after the way he putted.

Bogey,

I think that would be 'Sir Bob' and 'Uncle George'.

....and don't forget  'Tyop'.  ;D

..... and 'Big World', also 'Maintenance Meld'.

Bogey, I still wanna go on record as disagreeing and saying that then poster should be art.  There is nothing artistic about stringing words together.  If you want words, do a GCA crossword puzzle, but a poster is a work of art and should have art as its primary component.  The whole reason why I haven't bought the old poster is that the art is thrown so far into the background.  A great drawing can tell a whole bunch of stories and a picture is word a lot more words than 1,000.

Tim, those two make my point and so does the 2005 poster...we need art as well as words.  there is a really great image as the central theme...the words complete the art.  That would be terrific if wee could do something similar.

I see the GCA being used in double vision (think wavey acid fashback) with a word or Phrase that connects them into a concise sentence. My choice would be 'examines'. The poster would read Gca examines Gca.  Perhaps staying with the boxing promotor theme as motif.

What on earth are you people talking about?

This thread is like a Monday morning in a barroom in Dodge City with the staff sitting there with absolutely nothing to do for the next four and a half days until the cowboys get paid on Friday and come in for some drinking and merriment to be topped off by their weekly Friday night barroom brawl.
