Poster Making 101

Wee...Fan Friday! 

 

By now, anyone that visits my blog on the regular (thank you!) knows that I love baseball <3 Besides watching the actual game, eating the food, and drinking some booze...one of my other favorite things is the fan posters.

I love making fan posters. It's pretty much the only way I get to be artistic and show my fandom at the same time! 

As a seasoned vet of poster making, I thought I'd give everyone some tips! First, you should consider your goal with this poster. Do you want to get the attention of a player or get on TV?  

If you want to get on TV, your best bet is to incorporate a network name with something related to the sporting event you're attending. There's a pretty good chance they'll catch you as they go into or out of a commercial break!

ESPN. And I'm assuming people have seen his penis because he was drunk. 

And being drunk is part of every sporting event. If it's not, you're doing it wrong.

NBC. and America's team...or so they say.

You know what other kind of poster gets you on TV? Funny ones...

Cutting it close...at a ball game with buddies instead of
being with your pregnant spouse. Way to go dude. 

The Mets have always and will always suck.

Boys night out. Your wives are probably
out shopping with your MasterCard.

A broken heart is funny, no?

People try to get the attention of a ball player because they either love them, or hate them. 

Here's some ball player love!

There's also "I want some player love" posters

I've got dibs on him girl...

Everyone loves to hate athletes, that's why heckling is so much fun!

This hate is totally justified.

I usually make posters when the Yankees are in town...below is my favorite one I've made except you can't really see my face! I love it because I took it to the Yankees v. Angels series I went to when I had turned 21 and by game 3 (pictured) it had fallen apart. While we were in line waiting to get into the stadium for the last game, a couple of people stopped me to tell me they saw my poster on TV the night before :] That made me so happy!

Yankees are in San Diego this weekend it will be my last opportunity to see Mariano Rivera close a game. Below is my poster for this weekend's series...

MO: Greatest Of All Time.

Do you ever make fan posters? What's your goal? I'm gonna try to get on TV anddd get Mo's attention! Wish me luck this weekend! Hopefully I get a Derek Jeter gift basket <3


It's also #backthatazzup Friday, and it seemed appropriate that my first link-up would be Mo's walk out song.  

    Have a great weekend kiddies!
