One of the things I have found most challenging is coming up with ideas that are computer related to cover the cinder block walls of my Computer Lab. Over the last couple of years I have slowly but surely accomplished this and one tool has helped quite a bit.
PosteRazor. PosteRazor is a Freeware software download that enables you to convert almost anything you have into unlimited sizes using 8x11 paper. The PosteRazor wizard leads you through 5 steps to convert almost anything into a multi-paged PDF that can be printed and then put together to make a great looking poster.
The only drawback is that the original picture needs to be a really good quality picture. Otherwise it'll get blurrier the larger you go with it. My latest poster is an over-sized keyboard. There are instances everyday where it would be great to have a large keyboard on the wall to demonstrate specific keystrokes to the Students. It took a while for me to get this done though because of finding a good quality picture. Any picture I would take would be too shiny or too grainy. I lucked out the other day and found a great image online that came real close to matching our keyboards. I took this picture and ran it through PosteRazor to create a poster 10 pages wide (portrait) and three pages high. I was very happy with the results. So if your looking for a great utility, this is it. Check out the
link and have fun.
