TITLE(font should be Arial and PASt Explorers blue (RGB values: R 49 G 133 B 156)

Poster checklist:

At least one image. Image should be clear (not blurry or pixelated) and credited

properly.

Any finds or images of finds from the database must be accompanied by their

database record number. There are some pre-made finds image collages in the

Resources section of this toolkit that could be used for posters.

Font should be Arial, as this is the PAS “house style”. But at the very least, any font

used should ideally be sans serif and clear to read.

Don’t try to put too much information onto your poster – keep it to the key details.

People won’t read large amounts of text. Think big headlines, small chunks of

text/information.

Make sure your poster is accessible (check out our How To Guide on Displays &

Exhibitions for further details on how to create accessible content).

Spelling and grammar! Is all the information correct? Have you made any errors?

Print out a mock-up so that you can see how the finished version will look. This allows

you to check things like font size, readability and how eye-catching your poster is.

Don’t forget any other logos you may need to include, such as your host organisation.

To use the template just replace the word TITLE with your poster/panel title and delete the text boxes. You can then insert your images and text boxes into the poster/panel as desired.

A3 is the largest page size available in Microsoft Word. If you need to create a poster or display panel that is larger than this, you will need to use another program such as Microsoft Publisher or Adobe Illustrator.
