How can I solve a resolution problem when designing adverts for a brochure?

For a home published brochure I needed to design several adverts with text and pictures and/or drawings. I designed them in Excel, but the printer says that the resolution is too low for a good and sharp image. So, I am looking for a free program that I can use to redesign the adverts in a higher resolution, that will be acceptable to the printer.

Somebody told me about a program called Vectogram, but I cannot find it on the internet.

    Excel embeds images at 72ppi – it destroys the resolution of any images, which is fair enough since it is spreadsheet software and not intended as an artworking tool.

    You can download Adobe CS software for a trial period, or you can download Gimp or Inkscape – the latter would be better for long term use.

    there is not any ordinary thank you to get adventure, different than by using getting it!! right here is what i might do to get going: i might seek for out various charitable, community or different non-income companies on your section and supply them to coach them a flyer, e-newsletter, adventure application, advert or in spite of they % for unfastened. those companies are continually looking out to shrink costs and yet ought to offer severe-point cloth that would "sell" their initiatives. they might supply you with the text cloth, photos and the different cloth and that they had purely ought to pay for printing costs. in the event that they ask why you're doing it for unfastened tell them which you like what their agency does, and felt it become properly worth volunteering for (if this is actual!!) and which you're doing it for the adventure. In exchange you will ask for various issues: a million. which you artwork heavily with their guy or woman to come again up with a product you the two like, 2. which you get to maintain 50 or so samples of the total product, 3. That they write you a letter of advice wherein they do no longer point out a word approximately doing it for unfastened, and four. That they provide you their word that next time they have actual (i.e. for funds) photos initiatives for which they had ought to hire a image artist, that they enable you have a crack at it. i might do this for some weeks with some such charities, and that i think of you will have various fliers and proposals which you would be able to tout interior the financial international. this is my $0.02, PeopleGuy
