1. Poster Template 76.2 cm x 106.68 cm (30”x42” – 2.5 x 3.5 feet)Author (s) names go on this lineThe names and addresses of the associated institutions go here.Developed by Dr. Lynne Lafave Introduction Discussion • Your text here – highlight the information below and replace with your content • Design Suggestions • Viewer should be able to see all sections of the poster from a distance of 8-10 feet. • It should be obvious where to start inspecting the poster and how the information flows • Leave some open space in the design. Tightly packed space tires the eye and the mind. • Use elements of different sizes and proportions; try a mixture of shapes and straight lines. • Enlarge photos and graphs so that pertinent details can be clearly seen. Make illustrations simple and bold. • Convert tables to graphs when possible; avoid tables with excessive information.

It is very disheartening to put in a lot of effort and lose your file. Keep Multiple Versions: I recommend that you save the file at different points in your progress with new version numbers. i.e. MyPoster_v1; MyPoster_v2; MyPoster_v3. This way if anything major goes awry, you can go back to a previous version with little harm done. Change the Template to Meet your Needs: You have a couple of headers and text areas provided. You can easily add more using the copy and paste function of PowerPoint. Under the “Design” heading change the color themes. Be creative: the poster needs only to be 2.5 x 3.5. IF you want, design your own poster template. Font Size: The text size is set to 28. This makes your poster easier to read from 10 feet away and if there is a crowd in front of the poster, people may be reading from a distance. Smaller fonts are not recommended. Methods • Your text here – highlight the information below and replace with your content • Presentation Tips • The poster is a VISUAL representation of your work and should give the key elements of the project so that the viewer can understand the basics without speaking to the author. Include diagrams and pictures to illustrate your point and enhance the visual attraction of your poster. • You may use point form (less text making your poster easier to read and more inviting; too much text and people will just walk by) • Minute details can be provided by you (leave them off the poster and provide that information in your individual talks with the viewers) • Graphics should be “inserted” and not copy and pasted. This will preserve the resolution of the picture. References Your text here – highlight the information below and replace with your content Ethics Approval
