[I WILL UPDATE THIS THREAD AS MORE POSTERS ARE MADE]
Ahoy, recently I made my girlfriend a couple of posters for her birthday because she told me that she would like to have three images of animal 'faces'/heads hanging next to each other. I thought 'Well alright, that's not too hard' and started working.
It's a mix of very simple, yet - in my opinion, really great typography and a bitmap version of some animal.
I made her a tiger, a giraffe and an elephant:
Giraffe
Tiger
Elephant
_______________________________________________
But then i thought 'Man, this is a really great idea for an ongoing project/concept. I might even make enough to have them printed and sell them to whoever likes animals. And people can request animals.' and so forth and so forth.
SO! This thread will have this post updated regularly!

I would probably look into drawing the animal heads. If you are to sell them or go to the zoo and take the pictures of the animals. then you would own the rights to the pictures so you would be able to profit off it and have no chance of someone else claiming the rights to the images. Can run into some copy right issues unless the image modified down to around 7% left from prior owner. They seem like a decent idea if you can get them sold could also look into "T shirts" with this type of thing but i would also do some research and see if anyone else sells pictures of animal heads on posters or "T shirts with a captions below them.
Also on the Elephant i can read the text well i would fix that to be more legible
Good luck with your idea.

I am very aware of the copyright laws and regulations, and always make sure that I am allowed to use which ever image i may be using. But thanks for the heads up!
I didn't actually think about printing t-shirts, though it's obviously a pretty good idea.. Thanks you for that as well

Cool but what I think is missing is a background. You get some cool grungy background just typing searching "hi res photoshop texture" in Google Image Search.
Good work

Good work |
I have intentionally left the background in plain white, to keep the - as Patrick called it - uniform, or simple, style. Also I have started looking into screenprinting, and it would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to print som grungy background using this method.
Another thing would be me not really liking the looks of grungy textures used as backgrounds. They can be cool for blending purposes but not as backgrounds.
