Looking for office art

February 17, 2005 11:28 AM

Does anyone have any suggestions for interesting techie office art?

Our new office has a hallway that could really use some color. It's a IT dept so bonus points for old computer posters or tech related stuff, but we do need to mix it up a bit. (we already have a couple of the old Groening Apple posters elsewhere, but that kind of thing might be good)

If you think management will either not see it or, conversely, has a sense of humor, anything from Despair.com would do.

what kind of techie? From thinkgeek you can get the Brilliant Earth (at night) Poster and the Internet World Poster, if that strikes your fancy. There was a much neater looking internet poster map a few years back, can't find it now. :/

Pricey, but oh so cool.

If you've found an image somewhere, but its not big enough, Rasterbator might come in handy for a big/long hallway. You could print it on colored paper too.

You are surrounded by tech. Why not go for some traditional art, like French impressionism or something? It calms the soul and pleases the eye better than techy stuff.

I have these in my office. They're beautiful.

If you do development work big ERD's or UML charts can look cool and show management how hard the development team is working.
