Best Prince picture for a large poster

A friend of mine offered to get a poster of Prince printed for me, now I'm just trying to find an image I want. I'm looking for a preferably vertical image--My favorite Prince eras are Parade prince, diamonds and pearls Prince and Musicology Prince. Let me see what you've got Org! biggrin

There's a picture of him in a red vest with the yellow Cloud, performing for some record execs. It's the D&P era. I don't have it but I'm sure someone does.

What's the resolution you need for printing? I got this out of a bootleg and it's pretty cool.

If you're going to print something large, you should stick to images you can get in fairly large resolutions because low resolution images will print like crap. Heres a few larger images I was able to find: Prince (BET Awards Promo), Recent Live Shot, Another Great Live Shot, Live Closeup (D&P? Era Maybe).

Dig if U will the picture of U and Marvin Gaye and the kids.

Do anybody have high res (300 dpi-1200dpi) pics from Richard Avedon photoshoots of Prince? There are several esp the Rolling Stone versions over the years.

I really want to print the picture from the Parade album. But, I want it too be fairly large. How high does the resolution need to be to print a poster-sized or larger pic?

If I were his estate, I'd sell all the photos they have of him to a
Place like Great Big Canvas. That would keep Paisley open as a
Museum if they did it right.
Surprise, surprise.
Another treat. Another trick.

Just the vinyl and put it in an album frame. You could have an album in every room.

Usually if u have Photoshop, the lowest res is 300 dpi, not 72 dpi. But most pro printers these days want 600 dpi or more.


I have also been trying to find high quality pics BUT EFFN GOOGLE DONT HAVE THESE!! Thats why I asked on here becuz I know somebody could have them in their dropbox as large files.

Any will do. For me, I just frame his LP album covers. My favorite is the Lovesexy LP.

What you want to do is choose something that is huge -- otherwise the poster will be pixelated.

.

So choose from these: https://goo.gl/VfCy2Q

Good luck.
