Hi all!
it's a long shot, not I am not sure if you are able to help...
I am after a print/poster for my classroom, but I am after something quite specific.
Imagine: A profile of a human walking and, behind him, a profiled mass of dinosaurs both colossal and small.
I can see what I want so clearly in my head, but I can't find anything which shows dinosaurs in scale with each other (& on the same ground level).
I could add the human myself, if necessary - I like the idea of showing the human out-numbered, ie both in size and as a species.
Thanks for any thoughts, if there are any!

I think I've seen self-made versions using the outlines used in Wikipedia articles but I don't recall seeing an actual, published version of what you describe. |

Try ebay. I remember someone selling these JP posters that are like you describe. They were something like 5-6 feet wide, maybe 18" tall.

Yeah, but they're good for size comparison. And they look cool.

Perhaps it may be worth noting too that the Jurassic Park ones may not always be reliable, given their propensity for exaggeration, especially size-wise.
But yes, there's no doubting they look great! I certainly wouldn't mind one myself.
