Look around for a local sign and banner company. Some of these can produce stunning story boards.

Try your local sign shop first. I emailed a picture and write-up to mine and they printed out the picture on realty sign board and mounted on a hinged realty sign. Cost me $100 and looks very professional.

It all depends on how sophisticated you want it to be and how much you want to spend?
If you have reasonable computer skills and want to hold the price down, try Costco’s Photo Center. I developed one using MS PowerPoint – you can play with fonts and colors and import graphics and pictures. I made the size 24x30 in PowerPoint to keep the file size (resolution) high, and exported it as a .TIF file. I uploaded it to Costco’s 1-Hour Photo Center and had them make me a 16x20 matte finish poster board (they go up to 20x30). It came out exactly as I had designed it for $14.99. I don’t participate in many show-and-shines so it meets my needs and didn’t drain my wallet.

Would you guys mind posting some pics of some nicer ones? I recall seeing quite a while ago that I really liked. I believe it was an original ad for a '64 Corvette ghosted in the background, with the car specifics in dark type.
