My office’s end-of-month drinks coincided with the publication of The Weaver’s Boy so I decided I’d co-opt the event into an unofficial launch party! Nothing too extravagant, I figured I could put up a couple of posters and hope it would generate some discussion — and maybe even a sale or two.

Book promotion cover for The Weaver’s Boy.

Problem is, I didn’t have a poster. Nor did I have the time to procure one from a professional designer. So, I wondered if I could do it myself, after all, how hard could it be, right?

Actually, it wasn’t that hard once I had in mind what I wanted. The difficulty was finding all the various assets, tools and information. So, to document my own effort for future reference I’ve created this tutorial — if it helps anyone else, all the better.
