Alternative Motivational Posters

The Beastie Boys. Barack Obama. Ben Affleck in Boiler Room. Some people really know how to pump up a crowd.

Your HR manager, however, is not one of them. (You vomit in your mouth every time you pass the “Teamwork” poster she hung in the hallway.)

So perhaps it’s time to take office decor into your own hands — with Right Brain Terrain’s Alternative Motivational Posters. The fine art-worthy prints were inspired by founder Frederic Terral’s love of modern rock posters (and his hatred of cheeseball motivational monstrosities).

Now printed on 100 percent recycled paper and using only vegetable-based inks, the surprisingly mesmerizing posters marry inspirational messages with striking graphic prints. Of course, we doubt that Focus (a swirling cloud of Rococo-reminiscent designs) will stop your obsession over your Second Life account. Or that Courage (a fantastical cityscape) will calm you before a presentation.

But a touch of beauty could help you claw your way through the workday.

And feel less like a kitten hanging onto a limb.
