    I want to design a poster for print - I am thinking an A3 size

    Does it mean on my computer I have to design it at the exact a# size at 300dpi or can I design at a lower resolution and have it blown up? How do they design all the massive posters for movies etc?

    You unfortunately have to design it at the print resolution. Unless you do it in Illustrator.
