Are the quotes dumb? I like working with type but maybe they’re dumb. I’m having a real hard time finding a decent one for this, too.

People who have posters coming, would you like them more without the quotes?

  1. I went in expecting to see quotes from actual wrestlers, or quotes that would sound like something a wrestler of that archetype would say, but I really like these quotes you’ve picked!   Keep ’em!

  2. Hmm.  My worry is that if Nathan wanted to quote a real wrestler, especially one that’s ever wrestled for the WWE, that he’d open himself up to some sort of infringement issues.  “You can’t use the words of The Undertaker in your product without paying licensing fees to us.”, that sort of thing.

  3. That’s part of it, and part of it is that it’s awfully hard to find appropriate quotes even with a wide net. I’m certainly not going back and replacing the one’s I already came up with! Finding the quote takes longer than designing the poster.

  4. I asked Ramon to make 5 portraits dudes and 5 ladies, and this is how it fell out shrug

    I really couldn’t come up with a gender neutral term for the Gimmick that captured all the connotations I wanted, so I figured I’d let the dissonance stand.
