I shot some sequences of my grandchildren playing baseball and football over Thanksgiving. I believe they would enjoy posters of themselves hitting a softball, kicking a football, etc. Any suggestions on good sites I can use to design my posters?

Costco will do 20" x 30" posters cheap, $9.95 last time I looked. Poor quality lightweight paper, but they look good for the price.

Google search "photoshop sports templates" ... many to choose from.

All may not offer 20 x 30 though ... but you can fix that in PS.

If I recall one called Ash Design ... that offers $5 deals on Fridays once you sign up for their emails.

These guys do my business cards, and seem to have decent pricing and options.

Check out Costco.

But, $9.95 will only buy a 11'by 14'.

Is that 11 foot by 14 foot or 11inches by 14 inches?

You may want to call your local Costco and find out which printer they use for posters, then download the ICC profile from Dry Creek Photo and target that printer, save to file and off you go to Costco (ah just read how to do it)

Hi,

I live across the world, so I'm not sure if this would be of any help.

I dont actually make any posters, but I do print a lot of my photographs on canvas which I display at home.
The last time the printer suggested an adhesive vinyl which is stuck directly on the wall & can be removed & restuck a hundred times (so I was told). This vinyl does not leave any residue on the wall, nor does it lose its stickness.

I have printed just one image of 150cms x 100cms as a trial. This cost me @ $60.

I am quite happy with this & my next print will be double that size.

Once you design your posters, printing it woukd be the next step.

Good luck with your poster design.

I believe you are asking for a design site, not where to get it printed. If I'm correct try Lightroom in print module I played around once and designed the poster below. I have very little experience otherwise but thought that would help. I think you probably can get a variety of designs right here with LR.
