Timeline posters Reserve your posters here! Quite a few people have expressed an interest in the infographic posters (timeline, items.) I'm going to try to make real posters from them, and it will take a couple of weeks to do (check for errors, get permission from Troy & co, find a print service that will actually be able to print such ridiculous sizes...)
If you want a poster and/or be kept up to date with this (about 2-3 emails total) then either reply to this thread, or email me directly at aidan.randleconde at gmail.com and I'll keep you in the loop. I imagine the forum will become very quiet very quickly over the next few days, so I'm putting this here while people are still watching! I'm not looking to make any money out of this, so if you want a high quality file to print yourself I'll happily provide that too. I'll also update this thread with details when the posters become available.
Thanks to all the people who have helped out with the infographics and the discussion in general. It's been a brilliant ride.

Hello! There's a whole thread dedicated to them. It's all the scenes arranged in order to make it easier to keep track of who was where at what point in time. Here's the huge main timeline: link .

Without knowing things like costs or dimensions, I'm not really sure. I don't want to tell you that I want one, then flake on it later, but I also don't want to miss the boat.

Yeah, what exactly would be the cost range for a thing like this? I might be interested, it's a pretty sick idea if you think about it. Maybe when you take it up with trosephim they'll like it so much they'll make it official MH merch (or maybe not idk lol).
I just don't actually have much money at all though so I really can't make a promise...

Do you ship internationally? If so, I may be interested depending on cost

They are pretty hard to read, but one reason why I'm interested is because I suspect that they will be much easier to follow if I'm not trying to scroll down through them.

Give me a price and a prototype, then we'll talk. i can't commit to something I might not be able to deliver on later but still I am very interested in having a big ol' timeline on my dorm wall, better than the ripped Bob Marley poster I had on my wall last semester.

Hello all. Here's a preview of what the new style might look like. More space horizontally, some tweaks to add a bit more info, and a darker, more subdued color scheme. By splitting things up into "epochs" I'll no longer be stuck with an aspect ratio of 20:1!
For those who want to know more about the specs, it's a little complicated. At 300dpi (118dpcm) the print size would be about A1 (59.4cm × 84.1cm, 23.4" × 33.1".) If you want the highest quality one-off print this would be the best option, and if you're at university you may be able to use the print services there. To keep things simple I'll see if I can create a poster on Zazzle that people can order themselves. The dimensions there would be something like 24" x 20" ($16.15) for a large poster, and 16" x 12" ($10.40) for a small poster.

Here are a couple of images of the first draft. It still needs some work, but the main concept is looking okay. Feedback and suggestions welcome! (The full image is ~30MB and too large to upload.)
