We have created two simple
PowerPoint template slides for posters to be printed by the ADRC.
Please read the instructions below for further information:
DO NOT copy and
paste images, charts and graphs into the PowerPoint slide. Your must
insert all of these items into the slide as JPG or TIFF images. This
may mean you need to export the charts and graphs as image files
from the program of origin or scan them in as images. Once they are
JPG or TIFF images files, choose Insert > Picture > From File from
within PowerPoint.
DO NOT overlap
text box boundaries with other lines or boxes. This may cause these
item to not print.
DO NOT leave
extra carriage returns at the end of text boxes forcing the boxes to
overlap any other object.
The template is half of the final size for printing. Due to PowerPoint
page size limitations, the original poster is created half size,
and it is then doubled electronically at the time of printing.
These templates may be
modified to suit individual needs (size, content, etc.), but it is important to maintain a one inch margin around your poster. The templates provided on this page provide this margin in the form of a red line. Stay within the red line. This margin line will then be deleted before
the poster is printed so that it doesn’t show up in the final
product.
Use of 14 pt. Arial
text will ensure a final text size of 28 pt. This is a good size
for viewing from 6+ feet away. We recommend that you do not go
any smaller than 10 pt for body text (which would double to 20
pt.). Text for headings may be larger.
You can use some background
color for images, different section boxes (as in this template), etc., but please try to avoid using background
color for the whole poster. The use of a solid color for the
whole background is subject to an extra fee (see below).
