InDesign or Illustrator?

[Paul Murray]

If you have lots of graphics on your poster, it is best to use Illustrator for the gfx side of things, and InDesign for the placement of the gfx inside the poster

I'd probably just use Illustrator for the whole design to be honest.

Don't use illustrator to make a poster. Use it to create vector elements, use photoshop to work on bitmap elements then use indesign to pull it all together. Doing it right first time will benefit you in the long run!

I've always just done it in Illustrator so I can scale it easier, should probably go with InDesign more often.
