  1. The poster that you stick on the wall, if it is designed on the computer, is in an odd situation. The creases that let it fold are not used to artistic effect, and probably the artist will be unaware of the texture and size of the printed medium. Even if she prints the poster out at intervals to examine the feel and quality of the paper, it is not as convenient as being able to feel at any time. Maybe this is a consequence of the poster's “reproducibility”. It is designed to be copied indefinitely, starting from digital file and ending as a poster on the wall. How about this: if the artist wants to be able to feel the texture at any time and use the creases for an artistic effect, she can draw it on the very same kind of creased paper that she intends to print on. But then, the artist wouldn't be doing digital painting anymore, which ruins the whole idea!
