how do I make a poster or some sort of thing that can be printed?

[Jeremy]

I use photoshop and make graphics and such, but is there some way to make it easy for someone to print?

convert to pdf? i definitely don't know how to do that...
just make a giant JPG or something?

what do you suggest?

I don't know much about these things but I have bought items from artists who paoted their art on cafepress.com. in fact, I took a poster I bought off there and had it signed by THE man himself today.

That way other people can get at your art too.

well i'm more asking what type of file should i make it so people can just print out?

PDF is the way to go. Definitely.

If you're using photoshop to convert your finished file to PDF, just go to File>Export>PDF. Easy as Spitzer.

PDF is the way to go when taking something to a printer.

I suggest creating your poster in Power Point and then saving the finished file as a PDF.

I suggest openoffice's "sdraw" utility. It works well for stuff of this nature and can export to pdf easily.
