Sounds like a great idea - a banner should be roughly 1x8 or
1x10, about A3 height (I guess) - that's roughly 42cm x 4.2 m
(wow - that sounds big), posters should be A2 - 42cm wide by 60cm
high - or A1 for really big ones (approx. 60 cm wide, 80 cm
high).

Cool :) Let's get this thing rolling...

Cheers,
Dave.
