Inspirational/Motivational Posters Archive?

Post by DaveTheAve »

Today reading though the daily digg articles I ran across a post regarding KDE's new file-manager. In the article, the writer had a entire folder, shown in the images he had provided, of numerous inspirational/motivational poster images.

I was wondering if anyone knew of a archive or could provide me with a link to download: inspirational, motivational, and non-motivational posters.

They'd make GREAT wallpaper!

Note: I'm a user of Ubuntu's Dynamic wallpaper; changes every 30min.

if you check ebaumsworld they have a series of de-motivational posters. I'm not going to link it because of the content isn't suitable for children.

Those are awesome. I wonder if I could get my boss to pick up a few for the office. Image Image

I love reading those from time to time... they're awesome!

If you want great wallpaper images, try subscribing to some good photoblogs. I can recommend couple of consistently good ones if you like.

Huggins, if you want that would be great. I'll set up a cron job to automaticly download them every night or so.

I do love me some photoblogs... here are some of my favourites:

These three are the best: (worth browsing the archives)

Colourblind: http://colourblind.ca (my favourite overall, unnaturally talented... makes me sick!)

Daily Dose of Imagery: http://wvs.topleftpixel.com (Sam is a local legend, absolutely amazing)

Istoica: http://www.istoica.com/everyday/ (Chris and Jessica are an amazing portrait duo, and some of the nicest people I've ever met)

These are often cool as well, for various reasons:

http://shahin.ca/foto (prof. graphic designer, with a natual talent for photography as well)

http://www.worksongs.com (lots of neat urban exploration / underground shots... sometimes a mile underground!)

http://www.genestho.ca (occasionally some neat HDR images, mostly of Montréal)

http://www.dailysnap.com (often paired with music, good nude work)

http://markpower.me.uk (hard to classify)
