Hi all,
I was wondering what are some good computer software to make academic posters? I don't want anything fancy, I know PowerPoint is a good one, but do you make your poster on a single slide, or a series of slides? Also if you have any suggestions for good programmes for Macs that would be good.
Thanks :)
I use powerpoint (1 slide), but you have to change the slide settings to A0 size (or whatever size you will be printing in) because otherwise the resolution is poor.
I use publisher and find it a bit easier than powerpoint because you can customise grid lines to help get things aligned. Also It's quite compatible with powerpoint so if i made images there for other things i can copy them across quite well. Just be sure to set your page size correctly before you start.
Thanks both, that's really helpful.
Regarding the page sizes, this is something I hadn't thought about. If the poster was to be printed without the page correctly sized, would it come out with bad resolution?
