I strongly encourage you to use PowerPoint (and Office 365) so you can jointly edit. You could do this also in Google Slides, but I&#8217;ve found that more difficult to work with. Please <strong>do not use Canva<\/strong> because it is very difficult for me to give you clear feedback on those files. If you like Canva&#8217;s nicer design options, you could make yourself an appropriately-sized image file there and use it as a background of your poster slide in PowerPoint.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Templates:<\/strong>\u00a0 You are free to use templates or design your own poster. If you use a template, you are responsible for editing it so it follows our assignment guidelines!
