A poster has a message. Sometimes. A poster is a sheet of paper without a backside. A poster is a stamp.

A good poster attacks you. A bad poster loves you. And there are "l'art-pour-l'art" posters that love themselves and want to be beautiful. These type of posters confuse the viewer, muddle up his eyes, and force him to look for something in the poster that is not inside. If you like, you can smoke it in your pipe. ~ Uwe Loesch

That can be frustrating, when something you've done is marketed in a way you think is antithetical to what it is. ~ Richard Linklater

I often wonder what Einstein would have done in my position. At Peterson, I kept an Einstein poster in my room, the one that says 'Imagination is more important than knowledge.'
