    Hey Designers :)

    So the deadline for my FYP (Computer Science) is approaching and I need to design a poster to explain my project.

    We weren't given much guidance in the area and i'm a little stuck as a result. I guess designers often get work like this and probably see a lot of finished products, I thought id seek ye're expert opinion.

    Does anybody have any examples of product posters, I didn't find much on google.

    Also, whats a good product to use? I'm having trouble getting my hands on MS Publisher. Any free DTP apps?

    Also, i'm a little unsure of the size? My thinking is that If everything in the poster is Vector graphics then it should scale well. I think the poster will be A2 or A3.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks.
