Back to School Posters Gift Ideas

The quickest way to identify yourself among your peers is through music, and nothing shows that you take it seriously like a rare concert poster that you can't find in a store. A surefire destination for classic rock posters is Wolfgangs Vault, which offers replicas of classic and modern posters at various sizes. Just don't be alarmed at the prices.

If you're the type of person who needs daily affirmation from a stock photograph, coupled with a powerful word, followed by an inspirational quote from Ghandi, there's an entire poster genre just for you. Keep this should-be-dead industry alive by visiting MotivationalPosters.com while repeating to yourself, "you're good enough, you're smart enough, and gosh darn it, people like you" (you're not, you're definitely not, and they don't).

If you happen to find yourself rooming with someone who feels the need to hang one of those sad motivational posters in your dorm room, fight fire with fire by setting it on fire. Actually, that's a terrible idea. Instead, buy a demotivational poster from the folks at Despair, Inc. and replace his "you can do it" nonsense with something a bit more subtle.

Tell people you're majoring in film without actually telling them by covering your walls with movie posters! Go the indie route to show how cultured you are, or tack up some Twilight posters and explain how people "just don't get the true brilliance of the series." No, seriously, be that guy. People love that guy. Surprisingly, a site called MoviePoster.com has a great selection to chose from.
