Up to speed training:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Adobe Illustrator is the best software to use for making a poster, with Photoshop coming in second, and PowerPoint third. \u00a0If someone on your team is well versed in one of these applications they should do the final assembly and layout of the poster (though others can generate the text, photos, etc)<\/li>\n
- If no one on your team has used any\u00a0of these applications, some one (whose interested) should get up to speed with one of the programs (any will make\u00a0you more marketable for future careers).<\/li>\n
- Here’s some resources for getting up to speed, available to you free through Lynda Campus<\/a>, but note the time commitment.\n
