- rahimnathwani 8y agoI've even used Google Slides for stuff like this. As long as you're not worried about getting accurate colours you don't need anything fancy.
- lwhsiao 8y agoWhy don't you like LaTeX? I find it great for posters.
- ska 8y agoLikewise. And it's the only way to get decent typesetting on complex equations for one - though it might be a mistake to include those on many posters.
- czr 8y agoFWIW, I believe the most recent versions of Pages and Keynote both support inline LaTeX.
- happymandrake 8y agoIn my lab most of the poster templates were already fairly standard and available on a shared drive. Also anecdotally, I stopped sending my professor LaTeX documents as soon as she said she didn't know how to open them/wouldn't be bothered. It was a point of pride for some professors to use LaTeX, but we generally used word for the edit tracking feature to publish efficiently.
