• Microsoft PowerPoint is a relatively easy-to-use tool for creating posters. One benefit of PowerPoint is that many faculty and students have it or know how to use it.

• Adobe Illustrator and InDesign have more features and can provide very professional results - especially for posters inclusing high-resolution images - but are more complex and expensive.

• Microsoft Excel can create graphics and export them to PowerPoint.

• Adobe Photoshop and Photoshop elements are great for manipulating images.
