RankinFitchNovember 24, 2011
Pros
mult-color of you want on something crazy color
Cons
NO OPTIONS - can't cut and paste from document/ web to note. Total pain to re-type everything. NO STAY ON TOP OR OPAQUE options
Summary
TOTALLY USELESS
Very difficult to work with and it crashed repeatedly
MarleneHobartMay 26, 2011
Pros
It kept crashing so really don't have a pro - couldn't print it out to find out if there was one.
Cons
Extremely hard to work with. If you used too many commands too fast, then it would start flashing and eventually crashed. Bizarre. Plus you could not add more than one photo unless one was boxed in.
Summary
I deleted it!
Easy to use and does the job!

Pros
Easy to use, you can make simple posters that look just fine.
Cons
Can't find anything at the moment!
Summary
Very easy to get your head around, I'm not an expert by any strech and I wanted to make a gig poster with software that was simple to use but didn't make my posters look naff! This is great software that you can download and get started with straight away.
Works well with large format printers
larryblack22June 20, 2009
Pros
*WYSIWYG interface *allows you to print with higher than normal resolution when inserting smaller image files.
Cons
reverts back to default printer on saved work when you re-open saved work which means you have to do printer setup every time you save and open a Poster.
Summary
Well worth its weight. Highly recommended by me, a 7 year user.
fun and intuitive with beautiful results!
ZDebZJanuary 25, 2009
Pros
I've been using Poster for years for any posters, fliers, or graphic design needs I have. Using graphics and the huge collection of clip-art is easy and intuitive, the fonts are gorgeous and I love the way the font menu lets you preview.
Cons
Some of the font characters don't translate well between each other
Summary
get's the job done

Pros
very easy to make a big poster
Cons
some buttons are not that logical placed
Summary
Want some basics? Got plenty of time and fast cpu?
GezaGabrielJune 22, 2006
Pros
This program wasn't invented for people want CorelDraw/Photoshop/etc., but instead, it's intended for beginners and people who don't want to pay much for a graphical application.
Cons
Very ugly designs and graphics - fe. tutorial, stat page... - and basic gui. The tutorials are uncreative, there's no good view. Maybe the texts shouldn't be that big - and there shouldn't be too much sizes - and with so many colors, too. <p>Start POSTER button is at the bottom at start... Despite this program isn't very big it's slow (all-in-all) and it might takes at lot of time to insert even a small picture (if that's possible..). Also if i said that it's not too expensive, i'd thinking about which product to choose, even if the other is more expensive. <p>I wonder what feature is that i can't create with Word. <p>There aren't many formats people would use as banners (BMP, EMF, WMF). <p>The help isn't perfect as it has got some missing entries (fe. Options), too, but at least in chm format.
Summary
This is a very basic piece of software which is very similar to Microsoft Paint
PingBnLJuly 7, 2005
Pros
Its easy to see what your designing and has many tools to use.
Cons
However the program is very basic and not very interesting. Its rather boring to use and is harder to use than Paint although end results are better in Paint.
