i need some assistance. my buddy has cancer and he starts chemo next week. so i want to create a poster for him as a show of my support. so i was gonna do a design that says 'beat cancer' and it will have a bunch of guys with bats and shit, in the motion of beating the crap out of something and in the design it is going to be the word cancer. i was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of some hi-res images of dudes beating things up. ive looked around to no avail. any help would be much appreciated.

Have you looked on istockphoto? If you find one on there you can have it for free, Ive got some credits left.

How 'bout some illustration. might be easier than finding the exact image in high res.

why not get some mutual friends and spend an afternoon taking photos of you guys posing the way you want. That way he has photos of his friends supporting him. Make sure your photo is taken, too.

try to get them together if you can or in a few sessions mattyd. I'm sure your friend would much rather see you guys than a bunch of strangers.
This is an awesome thing you are doing for him. Best wishes to you both.

search for it on gettyimages or something (i'm sure you'll find a fitting image) and use the free comp/ watermarked image to trace over.. and do your tuff guys as a bad-ass silhouette or something graphic.
just an idea.

you should do a poster with some dude in a chair with his wang out and a box of tissues next to him, but his wang is made up of the words CANCER. then say "Beat Cancer". who cares if it's inappropriate

timg........ he needs hires ....... and at that size it will be smaller then a biz card if he ups the res......
abstrakt.......two words.....HELLZ NO...
if you cant get your friends....get a friend of yours to take a picture of you in several poses....make sure its up against a black or white wall...... then just photochop it together.....now that would be funny as hell......

actually.......I take that back abstrakt.....if he likes that type of joke then go for it......
I aint gonna judge what is going to put the guy in better spirits

i know he needs hi-res.. and i'm saying just trace a free low-res in vectors for a more graphic effect.

i actually just settled on a sillouetted image of michael jackson from the 'beat it' video.
any thoughts?
too obvious?
my buddy has that tongue and cheek kind of humor though.

thanks rand. he was having trouble breathing a few weks ago, went and got it checked out and turned out to be lung cancer. he's only 23 and never smoked either. puts shit into perspective. they caught it early and the doctors said they is an 85% chance so he's optimistic.

how about that scene in "Office Space" when they beat up the fax machine? Maybe you could do a screen capture or something.
