Beyond the Wall, the nation’s largest poster fundraising company, will also have a poster sale Aug. 31 through Sept. 4.”Posters are a very affordable way of self-expression,” said Michele Keating, Beyond the Wall vice president of retail operations, in an e-mail to The Daily Reveille. “With just a few dollars, you can visually show everyone how you feel, what you desire, who you are, what you dream of.”Each year since 2006, University students have bought the art, music and film posters most, Keating said. Beyond the Wall has been coming to LSU since 1993.”Since the millennium, classic rock, movie blockbusters and iconic celebrity images have been consistently popular,” Keating said.Roommates Rachael Ham, textile merchandising junior, and Emily Buser, biology senior, said they will use the poster sale to decorate their new apartment.”It’s helpful,” Buser said. “They know what students like. [Last year], I got a ‘Breakfast At Tiffany’s’ one.”Erol Liguori, The College Poster Sale Company president, said movie posters have grown more popular among college students over the years, with “Twilight” and “Boondock Saints” being two of the most popular movie posters last year. Liguori said he predicts “New Moon,” “The Hangover,” and “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” to be the most popular this year.”The trend of fine arts posters … that’s been going down a little bit, whereas the movies have gone up,” said Blake Liguori, inventory manager of The College Poster Sale Company.Erol Liguori said posters of Van Gogh’s “Starry Night,” John Belushi, “Family Guy,” Andy Warhol, “Star Wars” and Marilyn Monroe have been steadily popular throughout the years among universities. Erol Liguori said his company carries 12 different Marilyn Monroe posters because of their popularity.”[Our prices have] been the same for the last six years,” he said. “They will remain the same.” Poster prices for The College Poster Sale Company are between $5 and $9. The bulk of Beyond the Wall posters are between $8 and $10.Ashley Scott, sociology junior and lead employee at the Student Union Art Gallery, said three different poster companies came to the University last year, but one company was not asked back because of low sales, among other issues.”On average, we can make as little as $500 … up to $6,000 for the week,” Scott said in an e-mail to The Daily Reveille. “We make 20 percent commission, which is part of the annual Gallery Exhibitions Budget.” Scott said the poster companies are also charged rent to use the gallery space. The College Poster Sale Company will return to Free Speech Alley in October.- – – -Contact Mary Walker Baus at [email protected]
