Publisher PowerPoint Posters

Saturday, 31-01-09

Here is another showcase of the kind of graphics you can put together using Colour Gradients, Shapes with rounded edges and Transparency using nothing more than PowerPoint and Publisher. I did a quick mock-up of these designs in PowerPoint before fleshing them out in Publisher.

I’ve also designed them so that by changing the image and the poster slogan the whole feel of the poster changes!

Why not see if you can design a complex poster using only PowerPoint!

Having to make do really encourages one to be imaginative. For years I’ve had access to Photoshop/Flash and a myriad of advanced graphics tools and programs. I am currently limited to MS Office! However with Publisher/Paint, an army of geometric shapes and the transparency function you can still put together some reasonable graphic designs.
