Hi :) I have a feeling this is probably best done in Draw. I tend to use Writer far too much for poster design and sometimes, later in the process, realise that Draw would have been better. Sometimes it's worth copy&pasting elements onto a fresh Draw document but mostly i just stay in Writer.
Writer is fine but Draw has a few extra features. It's just that i am not so familiar with Draw and occasionally stumble around a bit. For example when placing images i prefer the right-click menu in Writer as it's quite a bit different in Draw because of the extra options.
