At some point in college you’re going to host a party – it’s basically a given. Depending on the size of that party, the likelihood of you being able to talk with everyone there can be slim. So what if that future someone is there and you never even get to say him to the person?
having a solid collection of posters goes hand in hand with the “college experience” There is hardly a better way to let your guests know what you’re all about – or what you’re pretending to be all about – by having a great collection of posters.
Framed, unframed, cloth or paper, here are some of the best posters to purchase to make you seem way cooler than you probably are!
Beatles – Subway Poster
Nothing says you have a personality like support for John Lennon’s Imagine. Advertise the fact you are an open-minded person with a side of sensitivity with this college apartment classic.
Grateful Dead – Blacklight Poster
Sure you’ve probably never listened to the Grateful Dead, probably never will and couldn’t even name there most famous player, but with a black light, it looks really “hip” and with the party in full swing, looks awesome on the wall. And looks are everything, right?
Bob Marley – Poster Flags
You’re in college, so whether you like it or not, there will be a point at which you will become a Bob Marley fan. This rite of passage is also bound to happen to most of the guests that happen upon your apartment. Get a provocative Marley poster, that way you and your counterparts can talk about Bob Marley and trade your misinformed thoughts on Rastafarianism.
Pink Floyd Back Art Decorative Poster
Don’t litter your apartment with a bunch of nude posters – it’s classless and cheap and only going to give a bad impression of into what you’re interested. One would hope that you’ve heard Pink Floyd by now, so class up your nudity with a little event grade art. The key to owning this poster though is that you should at least be able to name three of the five album covers on display.
Kurt Cobain Smoking Poster
As sad as it is to say that Nirvana is considered classic rock now, Cobain’s legacy is still a prominent fixture in the music world. Show your guests you have a rebellious side with this gem. Hopefully the fact that he’s smoking a cigarette isn’t a deterrent in our present health-sensitive society.
Marc Allante Girl Blowing Dandelion Under Umbrella
Show your guests you’re not so limited to pop culture by adding in a little art to your poster collection. Not only is this piece form Marc Allante visually stunning but the coloration would make it a solid transitional piece between the more minimalist and more colorful posters adorning your apartment.
Parks and Recreation Ron Swanson Pyramid
It’s important to show that you have a solid moral code. What better way then with the prophetical moral system of the great Ron Swanson from Parks and Recreation. If all else fails, it will serve as a great conversation piece as you discuss the hit show and, in doing so, ween out the boring people that don’t understand what comedy is.
