Working Processes: Creating the Posters

I've decided it's best to create the posters in Publisher as it's a software which is meant for creating posters. There are other software's available such as Illustrator but I do not have access to them outside of the University.

The first thing I would do on Publisher after choosing the A4 size to work on would be to select work on the Master Page. I would do this by pressing control M. Usually Master pages are used to apply features which would be applied to all pages, however I used this feature for the background and other parts I don't think I will be editing again.

My posters turned out as the following:
