Finally uploaded it.

I've been meaning to put this up for some time.  Was wondering what youguys would think.  Looking at it now, I have an idea the spacing is off, but I'm not sure how else to put it, as I did it that way to cope with contrast issues.  Isn't much, but it's something.  



Well?

I think the poster makes a good point, and is thought-provoking.

One small criticism, why do I so often see an unimaginative choice of fonts for text in posters made by aspies?

I think Einstein's hand looks uncannily young-looking in that poster. I've seen hands like that in real life.

I guess that's the obvious answer!

I think it's time to move beyond Times New Roman.

I rarely even think about font, but I do like nice colours.

Many thanks, Amy.  

Don't know about other aspies, but if I were trying to be artistic, nobody but me would be able to read it :lol:  TNR is just my favorite font: it's nice, familiar, it doesn't conflate different letters, and it doesn't mess around.  I wouldn't say it belies a lack of imagination, just a more logical and practical approach towards communicating.  It could also be part of the formal and pedantic use of language: TNR is the most business-like, compared even to other serif fonts like Georgia, which feels sort of like a kindly old man playing with his granddaughter.  A nice image, but not what I was trying for.  I also thought that in this particular instance, plainness would be an asset.  

I suppose it could be more appealing with something more rounded, perhaps in all caps?  Or perhaps some archaic book or handscript, legible but obviously non-standard, such as old German Blackletter, to go with the eccentricity.  But I can't help but feel it would lose some of the effect, concentrating on look more than clarity.  If you have any suggestions for specific fonts, however, I would be happy to hear them.  

I have no idea what color would be most fitting for overlaying an image in grayscale; I chose white because it went best with the contrast and didn't seem too much of an intrusion.  

One thing that occurs to me right now, however, I could add the rainbow infinity sign next to aspiesforfreedom.com, and put the text for that in a lighter red color.  May have to take out the bolding for that.  However, it doesn't seem to me that red would be appropriate for the message itself.  I'll try it at another time, I really should go read some books.
