Hey guys, looking for a little advice here. The semester is coming to a close, and I still have 250+ free pages to print at the school computer labs. Last semester, I used all of my pages making 2 fairly large sized posters using the rasterbator. One was a nice picture of Soldier Field from our seats, and the other was of Devin Hester.

This semester, I was thinking about making one of Wrigley Field or something Cubs related. That or something involving the University of Illinois. I was wondering if anyone has any nice, clean looking images that they would like to recommend. I've been searching google for awhile, and while I find some images that are good, lots of them are pretty busy looking, which I think would result in a bad poster.

tldr: Need cool image for poster! Anything Cubs/Illini would work. Or Chicago. Or surprise me with something cool. Thanks!

    Or you could let them keep the paper and the ink. This is why I only got a paper syllabus in one of my classes this semester, and had to print everything else out myself.

    Does your paper not roll over to the next year? My school just has us put money up and it stays in our account, charging for each page we use, but not putting a time restraint on it.

    Well, they give us 300 free pages/semester which does not roll over. And I'm done with classes, so I don't need to print anything else out. In my mind, theres no reason not to use them.

    Anyways, I've already decided that I'm going to be printing something. I just wasn't sure what I wanted to use.

    in my school they used to not have a limit on printing. Then some idoits printed the entire English to elvish dictionary and someone else printed a 94 page video game walk through.

    Now we are capped on how much we can print. and you can only print 10 pages at a time before it puts you to the back of the line. Long story short don't waste the schools money on stupid crap because the rest of us end up paying for it.

    Well, they actually encourage us to use them. And I wouldn't necessarily call it "stupid crap", I think they make pretty cool gifts for people.

    But thanks for the input though...

    For fuck's sake, he's talking about printing out stuff that he's already paid for.

    Suggest something helpful, or shut the fuck up.

    If you'd like to know what this is, look up "mirv" on wikipedia. I think it says something cool about humanity that something so pretty can do such awful things at the same time.

    spudart's flickr has a lot of awesome HDR shots of Chicago. As well as some great Cubs/Wrigley shots.

    Alright cool, thanks for the suggestions so far. Some of the shots from spudart's flickr are pretty amazing. If I did choose to pick one of those, would I have permission to use it? I'm not exactly sure how that works.

    Oh, and Thanatos, I like your style haha.
