Make your own 'dot' posters

Insert By Martin

This is a wonderful find, and a great way to print out cheap, stylish posters to fill a wall space, you can simply upload them from any of your photos and add an effect to become your own Andy Warhol. (though i wouldn't bother with the ones of me - im sure you've some which won't have broken the camera). On to MoneySaver SRA to explain.....

Back to the original post....

This site's been going for a while and I can't believe I've never heard of it!

Link (yes that really is its name!:rolleyes:)

If you can spare the ink, you can make Giant Posters to be printed out on A4 paper. They have a downloadable version if the site gets slow.

Have a look at the fantastic gallery of what others have done
(Wansn't threre someone round here who liked Johnny Depp? Can't remember )

After you've uploaded your image, you'll be given a pdf with all the sheets of paper to make up your image.

I was using the logo to experiment. Here are 4 of the A4 sheets that would make up the MSE loge (viewed in my pdf reader):



but I don't think I want a Giant Martin on my wall

I tried downloading the standalone file but I get an application error when I try to install the program.

Do you have .net framework installed? you need it.

The standalone version doesn't install to your computer. It runs from the folder you extracted to just by clicking the .exe icon.

The standalone version isn't even close to being as good as the online version anyway.

You the man sra !! :j

I really need to read some of these installation instructions
I just click to open the file and expect everything to work

I'm gonna try a photo, maybe get it printed online :think:
I think there are some places that have introductory offers for printing :think:

You're really on form ATM sra , some really good stuff coming from yah !! :T

Thank You so much for this website :A I love the use of graphics but not too techi

I'll post mine in a shortwhile if I can successfully figure out :rolleyes:

I looked at the gallery - your color scheme and specially the way you've managed to make a collage is fascinating than most - class!

And whose picture adorns your wall?

Well it ain't Martin Lewis

If I'd actually printed out the one I made above it would've taken up half a wall :eek:

You've done a lot of work on that one. I wish I could do a collage but it's hardwork of several copying and pasting and screenshooting.

I wanted to post a bunch of roses saying thankyou - but my bunch don't look like roses after conversion to dots so I'm looking for a womans' picture for you not me though - I don't want you to have nightmares :eek:

O dear, I need to see what's come out of it and will be back in a while

This is Estella



I've been trying a close up of just the face - but the site is giving me problems - so settling for this

sra, how did you manage those borders?

They aren't borders.
I set it to put the image on 16 A4 pages and, as you know, the site gives you a pdf at the end.

So I opened up the the pdf in foxit pdf reader and it displayed all the pages. I set the pdf reader to show 2 in each row and then I just took a screenshot of the top 4.

No thought went into it, it was just a quick screenshot of display in the pdf

meher

Yours is perfect - no point me birdbrain aiming to create one such

Guess what I finally managed the face must have been the file being a big one that gave me the problems

But why is Martin looking better than Estella - is it his sharp features or your genuis :question:

Gorgeous Estella does not have that personality in my creation *insert an apologetic smilie here*
