Cool I'll have a look when I have time.  I've found in the past when 
doing things like this, if you use Inkscape it does scale up fairly 
well, well if you use SVG images such as the logo and create the text in 
Inkscape.  Screenshots don't scale up as well unless they're high 
resolution to start with, but I'd guess if you're using images with a 
resolution of say 1024x768 and scaling them down to fit then they'd 
probably be okay scaling up to A3 size too, at least if the images are 
going to be printed at a small size.
