The designer should use the scaling tool with the proportional scaling option enabled. This option ensures that the width and height of the text boxes are adjusted in relation to each other, maintaining their original aspect ratio. For example, if a text box is initially 100 pixels wide and 50 pixels high, and proportional scaling is used, it will become 150 pixels wide and 75 pixels high.

If a non-proportional scaling method is used, the width and height of the text boxes will be adjusted independently. This could lead to distorted text boxes that appear stretched or squashed. The relative proportions of the text boxes would be lost, resulting in a visually unprofessional and potentially unreadable poster design. Therefore, proportional scaling is essential for maintaining the visual integrity and readability of the design.
