Done in the style of Despair Inc., here is a yak shaving poster I designed. Shaving the yak was a technical term coined at MIT refering to: "Any seemingly pointless activity which is actually necessary to solve a problem which solves a problem which, several levels of recursion later, solves the real problem you're working".

For those that don't know, there is only one way to get off the top of the Gates of Ironforge. Straight down, there is no easy way down. Well that and you could get your account banned for getting up there in the first place.
Created with fd's Flickr Toys. The photograph was taken during "Tribute Week" in Memphis in August 2003. I was standing on the train overpass near Central Station (Amtrak) in the South Main District. The Elvis impersonator (or just some sidewalk-phobic Memphian headed for a Dead Elvis party) is walking west on G.E. Patterson Blvd. between Front St. and Main St., passing a trolley stop. I was photographing Power House, the contemporary art museum occupying the train stations old power plant outbuilding, when this vision materialized.
I love parodies of motivational posters, so i jumped at the chance to compose my own using on of FD's Flickr Toys. I wanted a quote that made sense with the image, and the red cape and "hero of the comic book" seemed to be the best connection. For the record, this Elvis Presley quote comes from his acceptance speech for the 1970 Ten Outstanding Young Men of the Nation Award. Here is the full quotation, courtesy of Wikiquote:
"When I was a child, ladies and gentlemen, I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was the hero of the comic book. I saw movies, and I was the hero in the movie. So every dream I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times... I learned very early in life that: 'Without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain’t got a friend; without a song, the road would never bend - without a song.' So I keep singing a song. Goodnight. Thank you."

My first motivational poster parody.
I come from the Chicago suburbs, and I can almost guarantee that around here, anyone that doesn't own farmland but owns an SUV, does not use it for off-roading. And I'm talking about the reallll big ones. And don't get me started on luxury SUVs...
Taken for the Active Assignment Weekly! group. This week's assignment: Motivational Poster.
WIT: I hate these posters, so I decided to rebel from the start. I took a box, dropped it on my bathroom floor (Tribute to Prozac74's love of bathrooms). Using image stabilization with the flash turned on, I snapped the picture. I added the black background plus words via The GIMP.
Sweet and Simple, as I've been too busy for anything else lately.
Just for fun, I decided to make my own "motivational" poster.
