You can find the Cochrane HEX colour codes in the last slide. • To create a QR code, we recommend the free QR code maker at QR Code Monkey. • Want to link your QR code to your paper and a copy of your poster and your contact details? Try hosting the links all in one spot and link to that; it could be a social media post that you link to or a free online tool like Linktree. • If you’d like to use a picture on your poster, we recommend that you choose light and bright imagery that works in harmony with your group’s colour palette. Select positive, simple, and close-up images. See our image check-list for more help.
