The human element of conversation and nonversation means that there is great room for personality and mistake, and for this reason I think that screen printing my posters is the most suitable outcome. Because of this I want to do only a small series of posters, and because the shortest a conversation can be, especially a nonversation, is three turns of speech, I'll do a series of three posters. The conversations below are the ones I'll feature.
"Apparently, the higher a cat falls from, the more chance it has of surviving."
"What, so if you dropped one from a plane it'd be more likely to survive than if you dropped it from our step outside?"
"Yeah. I suppose so."
"What's your favourite number?"
"No-one has a favourite number, just like no-one has a favourite colour."
"My favourite colour is green."
"You need a new pair of shoes."
"I'd rather have a hot dog."
"I know, but you can't wear hot dogs on your feet."
"That's not what I was intending to do with it."
Reading through them with the colours differentiating who between the two people that were involved in the conversation highlights the importance of the second person in the conversation. The fact that it provides a focussing point for the attention of the conversation can provide a central point for the posters as well. The fact that what the second person has said makes no sense without the context of the first person could add a sense of random intrigue about them.
