Poster Designing Software

JonathanAnon · 2010-11-12 13:56:38

Have to make a poster for New Year's Eve.. I'd normally do it in Word, but given all the other great free software that I've found on the web (including recently SketchUp which I found here), I was wondering if there is a dedicated free application that will do the job better.. thanks..

Scribus is the big DTP app in the open source world.

Scribus is a desktop publishing (DTP) application, released under the GNU General Public License as free software. It is based on the free Qt toolkit, therefore native versions are available for Linux, Unix-like, Mac OS X, OS/2, and Microsoft Windows. It is known for its broad set of page layout features, comparable to leading non-free applications such as Adobe PageMaker, PagePlus, QuarkXPress or Adobe InDesign.
