CorelDRAW Versions 7,8 & 9
8 1/2 x 11 inch Assemblage Poster Construction

 
1. Follow stages 1-12 from single sheet poster creation in CorelDraw.
 
2. Draw a 8 x 10 inch box (20.32 x 25.4 cm).This box represents your 81/2 x 11 inch printed page. Copy and paste this box to break your poster up into printable areas.
 
3. Go to FILE > PRINT, select your printer, paper orientation and size, then use PRINT PREVIEW. While in the print preview screen you should see only a 81/2 x 11 inch portion of your poster. The portion of your poster centered in your print preview screen is what will print. CLICK and DRAG with your mouse on your poster to change what area is centered in the print preview screen. Locate your first box and print it, then move over to the next box and print it, continue until your entire poster has been printed.
4. Cut each peice of paper along the grid lines of your 8 x 10 inch boxes. Lay the individual parts of your poster face down on a table top in the correct order. Run masking tape along the seams. You may wish to leave an extra bit of tape at the top and bottom of your poster to use as a tag in which to staple or pin your poster to the dispay area. If you are using spay glue to mount your poster to foamboard in order to make it rigid, do not tim the pages before mounting, instead wait and use an exacto knife to cut them after they are mounted.
