Billboard poster

[MRmichaelg]

Hi everyone!

I would like to design a billboard poster ± 10x3 m. I know, don't do that in Photoshop but the thing is I only got skills in Photoshop 😕 plus I don't have Indesign / Illustrator. Who can help me out?

Regards

Michael

Just set up a new document at 1000 x 300 cm.

Set an appropriate resolution that your system can handle comfortably without kneeling. At 40 ppi the file weighs in at roughly 16 000 pixels long side. That's a big file, but should be manageable.

40 ppi is plenty good enough for a banner this size. Someone will probably come along and tell you that you "need 300 ppi" - don't listen to them. The 300 ppi myth is the most sticky one in the business, and seemingly impossible to lay to rest.

....and I thought it was " the cheque is in the post" !

Nah, that doesn't work anymore, with internet banking and all - "what do you mean, you haven't got it - check your internet connection, it's probably stuck in a server in Croatia".

My own favorite is "the dog ate my homework". I've been dying to use that, but never seem to get an opportunity.
