Original poster
Can anybody direct me to where I can find more historic information on the Think Different Campaign and Poster Series.

I know there were 4 or 5 poster series, but I'd like to know which posters belong to which series.. and so on.

Thanks in advance!

I don't know if this will be of any use but

http://www.missingbite.com/posters.html

That has images of all the posters you mentioned.

And this one is quite amusing...😀
 
Thanks for the replies, both have been some-what helpful. If any more viewers know where I can find more information, please post! 😉
 
I REALLY want the Ansel Adams poster.

I think it is like 200 bucks.

The significant other would cut my nuts off.
 
OH MY GOD........my history class last year in my high school had literally 10 of those posters.......i was thinking about asking if i could pay like 10 dollars for one because i liked them........GOD WHY DIDNT I DO THAT ...... so mad right now

The smaller (11x17) ones? Those 10 were/are a set that were distributed to educators. I think that redlightrunner sell the set for $300!

p.s. I have 2 of these on my wall at home, another 2 I've just bought of eBay and another one I am bidding on now... So far the most I've had to pay was £30 for the Jim Henson/Kermit one...

i have an original hitchcock one in my bedroom, along with the snail poster that is shown at the begining of the thread.

If thats the Kermit one that was on ebay UK about 2 days ago, then I'm one of the bidders you beat! 😛

Sorry! The same seller seems to get more posters every so often so you might get another chance soon...

He sent me one of those 'second chance' offers, so he's got more then one. But by then I'd already won this which I can't believe didn't go for more.

That's a good price, but you need a pretty big space to put it up!
 
Yeah. I have 16 total. Just trying to figure out which ones I don't have.

I have:

  1. Adams
  2. Miles Davis
  3. Henson
  4. Jackie Robinson
  5. Buz Aldrin
  6. Lucy
  7. Ghandi
  8. Amella Earnhart
  9. Tom Edison
  10. Ted Turner
  11. Picasso
  12. Hitchock
  13. Joan Baez
  14. Einstein
  15. Caser Chavez
  16. Churchill

Some posters have the multi-colored logo and some have the solid white logo depending on which series they were a part of. A series consisted of about 5 posters and there were about 4 or 5 series.

I know I'm missing:

  • Rosa Parks
  • Martha Graham
  • Sinatra
  • Fenamin

not sure which other ones I'm missing.

EDIT= A series was the 24x36 poster set, the 11x17 had different people or/different poses with more people then the actual "poster series (24x36)"
