Graphics help needed! Desperately. Do you like the concept? What if the bottom right corner said: www.freerepublic.com ?

Put one of these in Pennsylvania, Colorado, or Illinois to help swing a set: Senator + Governor + multiple House members.

With a good billboard, could a PAYPAL campaign accomplish something like this?

This would be a lot more impressive with good spacing & a better font. The LIAR needs to stand out even more. As you drive up, at first all you see is the picture and LIAR.

But is the it too wordy?

Could redo the picture to show more collar with matching communist label pins... and so on...

If you like it, ping some artists... vanity posts just fly by without much notice. THANKS!

Far, far, FAR too wordy for a billboard.....as much as I agree with the sentiments expressed.

How much are you prepared to spend on the Billboards?

Something even better than a vanity. Obviously. :)

Or, maybe, it is a subtle cry for help....

What’s a Vality?

Opposite of an Invality.

If I think I can make a good product I could spend a few hundred. I’m hoping a pay-pal effort might raise serious cash, and also a URL at the bottom might be attractive to local radio stations or pajama’s TV or Breitbart or Tea Party Nation or ???

Make it much simpler: A neutral picture of Obama—not the joker picture. Caption. “Stop Spending our Children’s Money.”

I agree with it all —too wordy by 600%, maybe.

They won’t read it, may even call you rambling or crazy.

AGREE WITH U FO’ SHO!

Too wordy... yeah.... maybe if the words were so small you had to be right on top to really see them, but the L-I-A-R were huge & would look like the only letters until you got close.

-—L—————
-——I————
-———A———
-————R——

While it would need to be a real billboard, the biggest impact would hopefully be on the internet.

Need the outrage factor... LIAR might do it.

Keep your billboard simple. In advertising, the things you remember are short, sweet and to the point. "I'd walk a mile for a camel.", "Don't you wish everybody did.", "It's the Real thing." and so on. People have only a second or two to glance at a billboard, they can't read a novel in this time.

Figure out what aspect of Obama you want to highlight -- and go after that. You can't uncover all of his evil acts on a single billboard.

Also, determine what your goal is. Are you trying to make yourself feel good, or are you trying to rile up conservatives, are you trying to do an "in your face" to the left, or are you trying to get independents to see your point of view? Your choice of a picture will help determine how effective you are at reaching your goal. (In all honesty, the picture you have selected might do an "in your face" to the left, but I doubt it does much more than that.)

Spend some time figuring out what you are trying to accomplish and who you are trying to reach with your message.

This is basic marketing.

- Too wordy. Billboard message has to be readable in 3-5 sec.
- Dark background with light text is more readable.
- You can't use that joker image because it's someone else's creation - copyright violation.
- you can't use FR logo or url - that belongs to JimRob
- Billboards cost a couple thousand. Higher traffic areas = higher price

A bit over the top. Not liking this. However there are way too many lies for a billboard. Maybe a question...such as “Who Is This Man”. Keep it simple. Maybe it would sink in...and start some brain-deads out there wondering what this could possibly mean. Use some graphics showing symbols of socialism, etc.

All great points. I would redo the joker picture in the same style, and as the FR logo... I’m hoping to use that ad space to help pay for the billboard, so JimRob or some other party of interest would definitely be contacted first.

Heh... maybe we could put someone’s URL who would be annoyed with the placement. Just a link has no copyright... just kidding, though, I’d want a little cash.

I was thinking 2500$ for the whole thing, so some kind of fund raising is needed... maybe put it in PA where the 78/476 come together near Allentown....

How about an image of a child’s piggybank shattered to bits with its few pennies scattered. The hammer beside it is labeled “obamanomics”. The childlike printing across the top reads “It was my future.”
