Conference Poster

Yo ladies and gentlemen, just wanted to throw this out there for discussion and thoughts...
Jim and I were talking about what we could do for the Genre Matters conference poster. I think it would be great if we could get as many people in the program as we can involved with the poster process.
We were throwing around the idea of dressing up in costumes... so say someone is a detective, a super hero, a cowboy, robot, etc etc, and all being in one frame.
I know we all have a ton of work, and that everyone is super stressed, but if you have any interest in doing this or have any ideas, the final product will be way better with any ideas you may have.
Just something to think about.
What genre would you like to be?


Hi, Jim joining in on Alicia's post. I thought we could do a photo along this line -- (I just mean in terms of stance, etc,) with students dressed as students but with some genre accoutrements layered over it, kind of Brick style. What do y'all think? I'm sure Alicia can nail the photo and we can get the props without much trouble.Then it's just a matter of photoshop. We could have a word balloon that said Genre Matters VII.

I call fantasy!!! I'll even buy the elven ears. Someone can borrow my light saber and Vader mask for sci-fi.

Does that poster really exist?!

A fan made it.

Okay, so Janet has definite dibs on fantasy. Anyone else? Who's the cowboy/cowgirl?

I'm game, though I don't think I'll look too good in cowboy gear - curly hair and 10 gallon hats rarely combine well. I could be horror though. I'd love to be noir, but I know either Sam or Jim's gonna want that one - though I really hope Jim goes the superhero route.

Janet that's perfect that you want to be fantasy, because that's kind of what I had in mind for you anyway.
