what do you use to hang them up with? that putty stuff? tape? frames? or push pins?
I used to use push pins but I just recently switched to frames since I can afford more of them
also general poster thread
Im probably ordering these two posters from amazon tonight:

I used to have a big John Lennon poster hanging above my head to help me remember that paul mccartney is really dead and one night my oscillating fan blew down the upper edge and it flapped down on my sleeping head. I woke up and clawed it to pieces thinking it was someone mugging me.

woa spoopy
i don't have any posters or frames or anything on the walls of my apt.
i should get to that myface;
push pins.
I try my best to match the color from the colors I have available. Looking at my wall, I did a bad job.

^^^^
also why do you have two of the same poster just different colors
I have a lot of posters that aren't up right now, but right now I have:
Rogue Wave - Permalight
iji / Filardo - 2012 tour
Portugal. The Man - 2012 Jagermeister tour
Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
Joanna Newsom - Ys
M. Ward - Hold Time
and both GTA V Preorder posters. I'll have to rearrange them when I get my Los Santos Blueprint map. I also want to get all of them laminated.
I have actual movie posters for that White Stripes movie, as well as Super 8, but they're not up currently
hiro if you want to preserve posters you frame them don't laminate them >.<
the putty stuff but my map of the world fell down a few weeks ago and i haven't put it up
posters i currently have hanging up:
dead kennedys poster on my door
pulp fiction poster to the left of the door
touhou wall scroll to the left of that
doors poster (framed) to the left of that
on another wall, next to my billboard i have the red dead redemption map hanging up and then a pokemon fire red/leaf green poster under it
other side of billboard has my boris (feedbacker) poster and then small minor threat and TWIABP posters under it
on another wall above some cd cases and boxes of records i have my swans (the seer), pity sex, and sleep posters
near my tv on the wall are my beatles, castlevania aria of sorrow, and twilight princess posters
lastly on the last wall is a star wars poster
for most of these, i use 3m poster strips. though not perfect, and i have made some marks with them on some of the flimsier posters (namely nintendo power ones), they generally work really well. one side sticks to the wall and the other to the paper, and there's a stretchable tab coming off them that you use to pull the strip off with (usually) no damage whatsoever to the poster. just gotta be careful to pull it off correctly.
my only poster is of a world map, though there are some others i'd like
i used [glow=black,2,300]toothpaste[/glow]
why not lotion
i wouldn't waste my favorite condiment on hanging a poster lol
[spoiler]
toothpaste actually works, though if you're not careful about applying it it might bleed through a little[/spoiler]

i have one or 2 laminated posters and they do not look that way
framing a poster just seems silly in most cases, draws way too much attention and is too formal for something so casual
framing the posters are better.
especially if you move around a lot.
laminating them is fucking stupid.
they're called the framers of the Constitution, not the lamenators
the last thing I got lamenated was probably the hand turkey picture we did in kindergarten/first grade.
my parents lamenated it and stuck it on the fridge for a couple of months
Or you can buy a bit of cork backing and a sheet of thin, cheap plexiglass and make one yourself. Costs about five bucks.
save yourself five bucks and buy a gun instead.
i tried laminating my hand turkey once
wasn't nearly as pleasurable an experience as i expected

Dem giant placemats
I prefer laminated to framed posters
and I hang them on the wall using around 4-8 pieces of clear tape
but I think the only laminated poster I have is the list of all 493 pokemon for HG/SS
I have another poster I intended to laminate and hang up but never did: a B2/W2 list of 649 pokemon
the other posters just end up taped up as-is, even though there's a risk of ripping if they're left up with the same tape long enough
my sister tapes her posters up with duct tape myface;
Isn't lamination better than frames for long-time storage when not hung? The posters can be rolled up into a tube easily and don't deteriorate from humidity or have a chance of ripping when being retrieved. Rolling them up is also better for transport. It's also easier to switch between the two sides of a double-sided poster when not using a frame.
my posters aren't framed or laminated and they do suffer some where and tear especially when moving but it doesn't really bother me. I also don't think Hiro's laminated posters look bad at all and if I was less lazy I might do the same to mine.

i don't really know what i'd want on my walls but those all sound like alright options
Just tape.
just use painter's tape
if it's good to protect walls, it's good enough for your poster
I once hung a poster in my room.... Thank god that phase of my life is over.
there are like, little adhesive pads that i use to hang posters up
Just regualr tape. I know its not ideal, but...
