: How to design a basic banner with GIMP? I am using GIMP. And I want to design a very basic banner to be printed 3m long. The design is as simple as it could be : it consists of one logo

I am using GIMP. And I want to design a very basic banner to be printed 3m long. The design is as simple as it could be : it consists of one logo that I have in pdf format (was designed by a professional graphic designer), and a bit of text.
I believe this is a very easy task that would take 10 min to complete for someone who knows.
It should be in 300dpi res.
If I open a new file with 3m long dimensions and a 300 dpi res. the file will be a few GB big, and GIMP refuses to work with such a big file. (may not be the right way of doing)
Do you know how to get started with that ?

Thanks in advance for the valuable tips !

: Should there be "seams" at the edge of the "tiles" when I fill using an image as a pattern in Gimp? I want to visualize what an image(768x1024) looks like when it's scaled down and tiled.

As stated by Joonas I would use InkScape. If you are set on using Gimp you may consider a different ratio instead of 1:1. I would consult the printer with their desired specs and we do have some questions similar to this topic you may find helpful:

Should I design business cards in InDesign, Illustrator or Photoshop?
What should you ask the printer?
What DPI should be used for what situations?
What resolution should a large format artwork for print be?
I need to print an image a certain size. What dimensions and resolutions should I use?

If you click on print-design you will generate all questions and answers related to print design.
