I reviewed Canva back in 2020. Canva has introduced many new features since then, so here are a few quick updates on the platform.
Size seems to have increased, but is still limited. I still can’t make a poster that’s 6 feet wide by 4 feet tall. But now it seems to have a limit on total area. I think when I reviewed it before, it had a hard limit on height and width. I can now make a poster that’s 6 feet wide by 2 feet tall, which I don't think I could before.
There are now university research poster templates. (They may have been there before, but I don’t think so.) Search the templates for “Research Posters” and you get about 20 or so different templates.
A couple are recognizably based on Mike Morrison’s billboard style posters.
Many have the same boilerplate text that doubles as a guide.
How to make a research poster: A guide for students
Many technologies and breakthroughs would not be possible without research.
It is important to keep members of the community informed about the latest updates. One way to do that is through research posters.
Most of the templates are good on colour and typography.
But most have too much fine text.
Some have confusing layouts.
Canva has certainly improved as a platform for making conference posters. It would still not be my “go to” for posters, because the size limitations bother me.
