The Advocate's front page is the same size as The Picayune and all Gannett's entities such as USA Today, The Advertiser.

Not debating that, but the Times Picayune front page poster of the 2009 title is 14" x 22", while the Advocate front page poster from this year is 12" x 21". The older ones (91, 93, 96, 97, and 2000) from the Advocate were 14" x 22.5".
That's all per their respective sites.

I may need help with this one...
I meant "certainly your right" as in..he has the right, to do and believe what he wants.
NOT - "certainly you're right" as in... he is correct!
Example: It's certainly your right to believe I have a "typo", however, are you certain you're right?

Thanks for being such a loyal customer and I hope you remain one. We have business reasons for maintaining the paper page size. Consider starting a “new” championship wall. I understand since we faced those same issues here in our building with the 2007 football championship.
Geaux Tigers!

When there are only 2 football championships, its not hard to stagger them and it look fine. No matter what you do with the 6 baseballs ones, 5 the same size and 1 smaller, it is gonna look stupid.
And I wanna know what their "business" purposes are. As I said before, why not contract out to another printer and allow them to print in the old format and just pass the addition cost onto the consumer

johnny4lsu-
Didn't really think of it as "defending" the Advocate, more just trying to interject a little logic and reason into a predominantly emotionally driven thread.
Sticking with "logic and reason", maybe Golfer are someone else can help me reconcile this...
Assuming b rod lsu's quoted poster dimensions are correct, and I have know reason to doubt them...
Everyone is suggesting that the new poster should be increased from the "new" (12 x 21) size to the "old" (14 x 22.5) size.
Now, while I admittedly know nothing about printing posters, I do know a little about math.
First you increase the width from 12 to 14 inches, an increase of 14.3%. Next, you increase the height from 21 to 22.5 inches, an increase of 6.7%.
Therefore, proportionately speaking, you are widening it by more than twice the amount you are increasing the height. While I'm sure "it can be done"...
Logic, reason, and math tell me the final poster is going to look like it gained 25 pounds, appear disproportional, and look stupid.
But hey, maybe I'm wrong!

That is actually a valid point, and I would have understood that a little more than the response I was given. But I'd just have to imagine that with a little work it could be done digitally. I'm nowhere near being an expert on this situation though, so I could be out of my element.
It really doesn't matter that much to me anymore though, as I have ordered mine through the Times Picayune. It just would have been nice to keep them all uniform throughout with the Advocate.

When you get the poster framed, just bring an old one to the framing studio and they can match the size of the frame. They can put some matting around the poster to make it fit. It won't look that bad.

Someone already did that and said there is still a huge difference....
Guess im just gonna order the Times Picayune print. Especially after seeing that stupid email response.

They "matted" the smaller poster to be the same size as the larger poster...and "there was still a huge difference". WHAT?
Either they're not understanding the suggestion or they need a new frame shop?

Or maybe you dont understand
Just bc you put more matting isnt gonna increase the size of the actual print. Its still gonna look like shite sitting right next to a print that is 2" x 1" bigger even though the frames are the exact same size.

WOW! So the matting doesn't "magically" change the "actual" size of the print!
Thanks for clarifying that!

order mine the friday, and it shipped out on the 30th and got it the 2nd.

I am going to check on the Timers Picayune poster, to see the size. If not, about all you can do is put a purple mat around it to make it the same size as the others. I had already bought the frame and was waiting to hang it. they should hang the idiot at the Advocate who did this.

Well then wtf is your point if you realize that???
People arent bitching that the frame is gonna be smaller, they are bitching that the print is gonna look obviously smaller set next to the other 5 championship prints.

moots you need to concede that it is just annoying and not very smart on the advocates part
while it may be that there is nothing that they can do about it "for business reasons" you have to understand why people are upset. people have a right to be angry about this

Eighteen-
The last thing I want to do is take away anyone's "right" to be angry (Especially on the 4th of July
) By all means, be as angry as you would like about this...
My point was, I don't think the Advocate did this to be "annoying". There were lots of "bigger" issues at play other than "poster size" that has gotten them to this point.
And while everyone on this board seems to think it would be "simple" to offer the current poster in the "old poster" size. No one has answered my question as to how you handle the proportion issue.
Everyone seems to think something being "digital" makes it "magic"!
But proportion is proportion, I don't care if you're altering an image by using "pixels" or "Silly Putty"...if you do it in a disproportional manner (which the difference in poster sizes would require) the end result will look stupid.
