UWF Printing Services recommends the following software for developing your poster:
Photo editing software such as Adobe Photoshop or GIMP is recommended for manipulating images. From there, you may insert them into MS Publisher.
- Canva is also a great graphic design software (free!)
What about PowerPoint?
Powerpoint is a popular software for creating posters. UWF Printing Services does not recommend using it, however, because there is usually a discrepancy between how the PowerPoint file looks on a computer screen and how it actually prints. They state, "It is not uncommon for PowerPoint posters to print with missing graphics, mismatched colors, or incorrect formatting."
