I have this tagged as a tutorial but this will be very simple.
My walls were boring and I got a new printer so I decided to decorate my walls with video game art. First thing you will want is very hi-res image sources; you’ll want these as big as possible. My sources were several thousand pixels across. Even large wallpaper sizes like 1920×1200 aren’t high resolution enough — you’ll see jaggies if you look close enough.

Print it out on glossy photo paper and go find a frame. I went to Michaels and got these frameless glass.. frames. They work well when the paper is the exact size of the frame and aren’t too expensive.
For posters, you may have a harder time locating an affordable frame. I had a 14×28 inch Half-Life 2 poster but gave up on finding a frame.
I ended up adhering the poster to some foamcore board. Gives the poster a little more significance. I used some simple double sided tape to attach the poster to the foam board because I wanted a more temporary solution. For a permenant solution, I’ll probably use adhesive spray.
I plan on putting up more game-related artwork in the future. Feel free to post any questions as a comment on this post.
