While doing some serious research on calendars recently, I stumbled on a gallery<\/a> where:
Big Black Frames
and
Short Inspirational Titles
In Glowing White Text
Separated by a White Line
With Snappy Quotation Subtitles Below
Were The House Specialty<\/p>\n

They looked nice. In fact, this inspirational poster framing style looked very polished and professional, which is what I think, “Corporate” is suppose to mean. I looked at lots of them until…<\/p>\n

I got into the mood myself:<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

All good things come to an end, and what defines, “the end” better than a meaningless string of hitherto useful words? I don’t know, after all that lofty stratospheric, inspirational stuff, my mind just started to crave senselessness again. “Gibberish: Words into Song<\/i>“<\/p>\n

That very same day (this is the truth) a friend of mine dropped off one of his business calendars in my mailbox. And what do you suppose I saw? Yes!
Big Black Frames
and
Short Inspirational Titles
In White Text
Separated by a White Line
Snappy Quotation Subtitles Below
Were The House Specialty<\/p>\n

Anyhow, I’m not saying it’s cliche and we should all get rid of the BigBlackFrameGlowingWhiteTitleAndQuotation style of presentation. Come to think of it, it did inspire me to make this posting.<\/p>\n

I think the best background for artwork, especially digital artwork, is just plain black. The shining text that results is just an elegant bonus. Now I’m guilty too.<\/p>\n
