paisley Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 Photoshop will give you much nicer posters. just mess around some, bit of a learning curve but you don't have to understand the whole program to do up some posters. if you have some time on your hands poke around through some of these links or do a search for a photoshop newbie site (novice, beginner, intermediate, etc.) with posters the date and the venue should usually be the biggest things so people remember something is happening a set night at a set place, band name fairly big too have fun bro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fretman Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 i usually use a combination of photoshop and coreldraw.....i do my photographic in photoshop, then import into coreldraw and do my layout with type(just because i have more control in a vector based program) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paisley Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 Illustrator is my vector based program of choice, just figured maybe he didn't have it handy (as well as it can be more confusing than photoshop to the novice) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay sanislo Posted March 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 im having trouble trying to import a pic into the poster, and when i type nothing comes up, i go to import and go to my kodak pictures and it shows the albums but when i go to open them nothing shows up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paisley Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 what format are your kodak pictures... you likely want them to be .jpg... might have to export them as such from your kodak folder for typing you have to use the type tool once you have typed something you can alter the font, size or text, etc with the Character Palette (should be somewhere on the right of your screen or else choose it under the Window drop down menu at the top) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paisley Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 size the pic to the size you want it to be (to check/change the size look under "Image" at the top and select "Image Size") on the resized pic you want to move go to "Select" at the top, then hit "all" for the whole picture or use the lasso tool off where you found the type tool surround what you want (probably use the rectangular lasso tool, there's a few different choices if you hover over it), copy it and paste it in your layers pallet (like the character pallet) you can move the pic to the back of the image you're working on if you want to I should start writing tutorials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briguy Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 make sure your pics are high res or they'll look bad when you print your posters. 300 pixels/inch works well but 600 is best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paisley Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 well, make sure you have any pics you're using open in photoshop... if they're some wierd kodak format extension photoshop might not recognize them so they'd have to be converted to something else (though I don't know if thats the problem) if you have a picture open in photoshop and copy from it, you should be able to paste in somewhere else drop me an e-mail if you're totally lost jhamie@mountaincable.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
