I always liked to do posters from my favorite artists -  not sure what your style is but Matisse and Picasso are two of my favorites.

Or what about travel posters or maps from places you've visited or lived?

I once did my own paintings (acrylic) on poster board that matched the style I had. I used a really good double-sided tape on the back to hang it up.

Are the posters you are seeing nothing new? I found a section forhttp://www.prints.com/art.php/Art_Prints_Posters/?artist_id=99999-41 Out-of-Print Prints and Posters on Prints.com. *Arrange the prints by price from Low to High. There are some more unique things in there.

Prints.com also has the popular posters.

***My favorite thing to do is slice out prints from a beautiful calendar. YOu can get cheap frames for them or find other ways to display the pictures from the calendar.

Here is one good example of a calendar you could split into prints for decorative purposes.

Ghost Flowers 2007 & 2008

I'll take a pic of and post what we did at our house with calendar pics.

I was in a great gift shop in Charlotte yesterday (gotta give my props to Paper Skyscraper) and saw these decorative wall stickers. I thought of your request for poster ideas when I saw these. They look fun and pretty. You can link to the catalog of sticker choices from this page: http://www.nouvellesimages.com/index.php?id=109
