[enter department name here] The flow of your poster should be from
top left to the bottom right. The movement of the eye over the
poster should be natural (down columns or along rows). Use headings
that best represents what you are putting in this section.
Introduction, Research Objectives, Experimental Question, Purpose
are all good headings for this section. Try to get at least 36 pt
font in all text boxes. Some people put their abstract here, but
since it is included in the program it is not necessary to have it
on your poster. Use bullet points or very short paragraphs This box
shrink or grow with the amount of text. This template will result
in a 3 x 4 poster size, in portrait format. You can move boxes
around. Fonts Be consistent in your use of fonts ! Use copy format
tool to ensure consistency, especially when copying in from other
sources. Graphs Use paste special when copying and pasting charts
and graphs from excel as photos. Otherwise you will link the file
and it will create problems with saving and printing. Create the
graph and format it for fonts and overall size in the graphing
program before copying. Tables Create and import as a picture or
use Powerpoint Table. Insert your acknowledgements here. Include
all research funding sources and people that contributed to this
work. Use bullet statements Dont simply repeat results ! Focus on
what the results imply what you think it all means Materials and
Methods, Methods, Experimental Design, Study Design Data Collection
methodology are good headings for this section Use subheadings for
each experimental technique Be succinct, describe what WAS done.

Methodology Results Conclusions Acknowledgements Images Pictures
for use on a poster should be scanned or taken at 300 dpi at
>100% of the size that they will appear on the poster. Pictures
imported from web sites are low resolution images. These images are
made for onscreen presentations and web page use only. They should
not be imported directly to a poster. Be cautious about stretching
images or making them significantly larger than their original
size. Instead use images scanned or taken at a size specifically to
fit you poster needs (i.e. 150 dpi scanned at 100% of the size to
appear on the poster). Do not enlarge pictures once they are
inserted into your poster. Even if they look OK on screen, they
will not print well. If you need to decrease the size of an
imported picture or logo, hold down the Shift key on your keyboard
and then click and drag with your mouse on one of the corners in
order to scale it proportionally. This will keep it from being
distorted. Number each graph or picture as Figure 1, Figure 2 etc.
and include a caption for each. Design Focus on readability. Avoid
crowding at all costs. Maintain good contrast and coordinating
colors between fonts, background and images. Do not use gradient
fill. Most of the large format printers will have a problem with
this. When finished. Save or print the image as a PDF and e-mail it
to the ID center for printing. Use a different color/size font or
text box background to provide emphasis. Keep things balanced and
aligned. Enable grids and guides under the view tab to help.
