Thought I'd share something with you all which I've been creating for a little while now and finally it's come to fruition. By way of background, I've been renovating our family home for a couple of years now, and one of our main objectives was to make it a home with personalised touches and decor, rather than an anodyne show home. With this in mind, I wanted to create a piece of art for my room/studio which reflects my passion for Oasis and the Gallagher's music, as opposed to just getting a standard poster. I wanted to create something that would trigger a memory or moment no matter where I looked at it, and so from the multiple threads on here about lyrics and their meanings/connotations to people came the idea of creating a poster board containing a lyric from every Oasis, pre-Oasis, High Flying Birds, Beady Eye and Liam solo track. The overall look would resemble a graffiti-laden wall to give the impression of ideas being scrawled on a wall, hence also the use of Noel's handwriting as a font, which I found by searching this forum - many thanks to Jessica for creating it. Most of the lyrics I've chosen are personal to me (which has meant including some choruses in their entirety..!), whereas some have been chosen to fill spaces, so that much of the board as possible is covered. The numerous iterations of each group's logos are meant to resemble posters being glued to the wall to promote the band. Having spent some time tweaking colours, changing lines, checking spelling, I managed to source a studio to print this in high quality and having installed it with help from a friend of mine, I'm really pleased with the result, which you can see in the pictures below. If anyone is interested in a copy of this for themselves, feel free to PM me and we can discuss further. If anything, you can take a spare minute and have a look through the pictures to see if you can match up the lyric to the song (and see if I've missed any tracks out - I hope I haven't..!) Enjoy!

Love it! You executed the concept very well, feels very natural. Got the feels just looking through it just now. And you're welcome.
