A while back I held a contest on my site and asked readers to send in screenshots of their dashboard (MacNN post about it). I ended up getting over 1000 great shots.

I used those screenshots to make a mosaic poster of Steve Jobs. I also thought that others would want to download the screenshots to make their own posters.

I have a link to the zip file in the post.

I hope everyone has some fun with it.

You should sell it as a poster; help finance your new
freemac site. Both look great by the way.

I have to admit that it crossed my mind to sell the poster, but from the start of the project I assured that I would make the file available to anyone that wanted it. I wouldn't feel right going back on that.

But it has been downloaded so many times that it sure takes alot of bandwidth. I'll have to decide when it is time to take it off.

and thanks for the compliments.

Uh, you can have your cake and eat it, too. Sell it as a poster, and make it available online. Many people aren't going to want to go to the hassle of printing a poster.

tooki, that is a great suggestion. The file is ther for everyone, but I can charge for the work of getting the poster printed and shipped. That would sure help my server costs.

I will make some more posters to choose from and see what I can put together. Thanks.

Very nice job.
