Hi guys

Finally getting a place with some room but it has a massive plain wall. The plan is to hang up a few posters that are meaningful me like favourite games, singers or movies.

I plan to have +-15 and might add on 3 a year. At any point, I will only hang up 5 and I want it to be simple to switch out which on is hanging up. I would like the other posters to be displayed in a vertical flip book similar to the one musica uses to display their posters.

This leads to my questions
1) Where can I print these posters in decent quality cheaply? What site can I find resolutions high enough for A0 posters
2) in terms of framing options, what would be the most cost effective and from where?
3) in terms of hanging up the posters, provided it is light enough after framing, I was thinking of glueing a few R5 size magnets to the wall and using that to hold the posters in place. I just need to find a place to get magnets without breaking the bank
4) Any suggestions on where I can buy or make the vertical flip book? Ideally, the method I choose to hang up the posters on the wall should be the way the posters reattach to the display unit

The last time I hanged posters was when I was a teenager. Just used prestik.

I guess you can just go to any printing store and they will print it. Go to the timber shop and buy some strips of wood for the frame.


Cheap and Quality doesn't go together.

This reminds me of when my entire room including the ceiling was covered in pictures of girls and random boobs:laugh:

Go for cheap posters that you can mix match and replace as and when you want, I got a couple decent quality ones at some flea markets. Or hunt on the web for rare ish valuable ones as collector items that you can have decently framed and be proud of.

Used to have my room covered in posters as a teen, ranging from a Spitfire, to some silly Beavis and Butthead poster. Various bands I'd seen live as well and some boobs and and.
