Hey Rob, I used GIMP, and got the ubuntu and canonical logos off the
internet, and took the screenshots myself.

You can download all the images and things i used here:

As for scaling it up to A3, it could probably be done, albeit with a loss of
quality, but you're welcome to try :D

It's also probably worth noting that if you are going to use a border
printer, to try keep all the borders around the image the same size, so it
doesn't become disoriented.

Liam.
