Philosophy Posters: Beautiful and Inspiring Words
Sometimes all it takes for us to have that ‘aha’ moment, that revelatory kernel of truth that wakes us up and sends us in the right direction, is one sentence spoken clearly and concisely. These posters do just that, capturing some of the wisdom written by the great philosophers that have gone before us, those who explored the far boundaries of human understanding and wisdom.

Classic Moments from Seinfeld Poster
Seinfeld fans of the world rejoice! As a tribute to the long running show, designer Nathan Manire has created a slick poster featuring the many props that made the show the hit that it was. Titled “These Pixels are Making Me Thirsty” (clever) the print features a border made of muffin tops, tasty but salty pretzels, and is filled with wonderfully illustrated icons inspired by the show.
