I ended up using Canva to do this assignment because i was trying to use Prezi at first and I kept losing my progress. 
I have used Prezi before and it can do some really neat things, but sometimes the addition of more and more technology and transitions as well as more "subscription" that I do not want to pay for, can cause issues. I will say that in the past when i have used prezi, I have made really amazing presentations, i used it in high school to make a lord of the flies project presentation that zoomed in on different parts of their island. Sometimes it is difficult to get prezi to do what you want in the order of your presentation, going back and forth can sometimes be difficult. 
I used Canva again because that is my go to app for making graphics. The way Canva is designed it is easy to pull images you are allowed to use and reproduce without infringing on someone else's life. 
I dislike the complexity of Canva occasionally, the app is very sensitive and will go in and out on my screen many times so the intuitive aiding ends up taking me way longer to do than if it had backed off on the sensitivity. For example, highlighting and moving as well as editing text should be one click, but it takes a lot of tries to get to the selection you want and to get it to move how you want. Overall I do use this app frequently and appreciate its usefulness.
