Remember, copying copy protected music, movies, and games is stealing and it is harmful to the creative artists, musicians, developers and others involved in the work. To create your poster you may use various media such as digital photography, drawing tools, downloaded images, as well as online sites. Some online sites include: sumopaint.com, eduglogster.com, You will embed this into your wiki when you are finished.
