Planning the poster is important. !
Refer to the poster session guidelines to determine
correct poster size.!
Contact the poster printing service bureau to confirm
acceptable file formats, acceptable poster dimensions,
turnaround time, and cost.!
!
Take advantage of the posters inherent ability to display
graphic elements: With regards to text, be brief, and opt for
photographs, tables, graphs or illustrations to elucidate
organism, protocol, or experimental design. Dont overstuff
the poster- leave some blank space.!

Fig. 1. Allow room for figures and
captions. Use a sans serif font for figure
captions to provide cue to reader that
he/she is not reading normal text
section. Smaller font size also sets
captions apart from body text blocks.
After you refer to the poster submission guidelines, open and
existing poster template or use PowerPoints Page Setup
dialog box to set poster size. It is important to note that the
maximum size for PowerPoint is 56 x 56. Larger posters
can be printed by setting the dimensions to one half of the
target dimension and instructing the poster printing service
bureau to print the poster at 200%.!
!
If printing at 200%, be sure to double the resolution of all
photographic and scanned images to 250-400 dpi.!
Start making the poster by inserting all text content into Text
Boxes. If using these templates, first delete all slides but
the one you plan to use. Select the contents of the existing
text boxes and replace it with your own content. After
inserting text content, format the content to an appropriate
font choice, text style and size. !
Sans serif fonts are good choices for the poster title, section
headings and figure captions. Serif fonts are good for text
block section content.!
Dont underline. Italics and bold text is OK. Bullets should
be avoided. Use standard, cross-platform fonts to avoid
printing problems:!
!
!
!
!
!
Once formatted, edit the content. Be ruthless. If you are too
attached to the content, enlist someones help to reduce the
verbiage. Remember a picture is worth a thousand words-
plan to insert supporting graphics where possible, especially
if it reduces the amount of blah, blah, blah.!
!
Only after the text boxes have been inserted and edited can a
determination be made about the size of inserted images.!
RASTER IMAGES (photographs, scans, images that come
from microscopes): Using the Rectangle Tool, create raster
image placeholders in the poster. Keep in mind the aspect
ratio of images when drawing placeholders: draw landscape
oriented and portrait oriented rectangles where appropriate.
Double-clicking on the image placeholders and looking at the
size tab will allow you to determine the correct physical
dimension that you will need to make the raster images.!
!
For raster images, plan to edit the image with Photoshop to
set the correct !
Physical dimension (see image placeholder)!
Resolution (125-200 dpi)!
File type (.jpg, .tif, .png)!
Color mode (RGB or Grayscale)!
Crop!
Once edited in Photoshop, Insert the raster image into
PowerPoint. Do not resize Inserted raster images within
PowerPoint- doing so may result in non-printable posters.!
!
(Dont forget images that will be printed at 200% need to be
prepared at 250-400 dpi.)!

VECTOR IMAGES (Illustrations from other PowerPoint
figures; tables, charts and graphs from other Microsoft
applications; vector objects generated by other applications
like Canvas, Illustrator, CricketGraph, ChemDraw and
KaleidiaGraph): No need to put in placeholders, no need to
edit using Photoshop.!
!
Paste Special, perhaps Ungroup and edit!!
!
Another option is to save the vector as a .wmf or .eps file and
Insert Picture… from File as you would a raster image.!
