Zubin -

I'd suggest a Web search for 'poster design' and some reading before
you start. A quick search just now turned up some useful university
Web sites.

I'd be inclined to use OpenOffice.org (Writer or Impress) for the
overall poster and import from Inkscape, GIMP and Gnuplot for the
graphical bits, but Inkscape may also work for the whole thing. I'm
not familiar with Scribus.
