buyer help with a poster template?

hi... i was wondering if any of you could point me in the right direction for something that would be likened to a poster template.  i am shooting portraits for a dance school and they have decided they would like to offer a poster with simple text added as well as photo packages.  i was looking for something simple and elegant that i could place the photos behind.  i have purchased a couple of "corner" illustrations with a calligraphy or penmanship feel, but am not quite getting the vibe that i want.  any suggestions? thank you for any help!

Don't know about a poster template. Make one for yourself in InDesign or even in PhotoShop. Then for a dance school how about using a simple yet elegant illustration in a strategy location on the poster -- some kind of scroll work that would echo the dancers beauty of movement, balance, costume. Then choose a script font for the text -- maybe Vivaldi, or Phyllis or really fancy Edwardian Script. If you use a really fancy font, you might want to just use it for capital letters.

Good luck with the project!!

thank you kindly for taking the time to respond, justelaine.  i appreciate the font ideas and the general design ideas.  i think scroll-work is the perfect compliment to the images.  i had very blocky borders before with a simple stroke, but after getting some scrolls, and talking a bit with the printer, it seems like we are headed the right direction.  thanks for your insight.
