Jay had a cool idea to make propagan--er, promotional posters. The
attached SVG isn't the style Jay wanted (like the Obama "Hope" posters)

Comments and criticisms?
Promotional posters sound like a good idea, but I don't see "you're
wrong" as a good way to start a conversation about Racket.
Well, there goes my "Ryan C. decked out like a rapper, with 'YOUR MACROS
ARE WEAK'."
I was hoping the "LOL cats" style would be amusing enough to offset any
rudeness. At any rate, the message is the easiest thing to change. We
just need something Matthias-y.
Here are the other two ideas I've had:
[Ryan C. Picture (not really dressed like a rapper)]
YOUR MACROS ARE WEAK
Robust, debuggable compiler extension. Only in Racket.
[Sam T. Picture]
TYPED AND UNTYPED
Living in harmony. Convert scripts to programs.
I'm not sure what poses I'd have them in. I'd probably ask for a few
hi-res photos. Don't worry - I'd draw it flatteringly just like
Matthias's. :)
I've been trying to come up with poster messages for Jay (web), John C.
(stepper/teaching), Matthew, and Robby. Another angle: what aspects of
Racket do we want to advertise?
