Tips for creating your poster

• Replace the text in the template by typing in your own text, or copy and paste your text from a Microsoft Word document or similar.

• Use the template as it is, or be creative and change the layout, text boxes, colours and fonts, just make sure you:

– Do not change the layout of the top and bottom banners on the poster.

– Include the required information on the poster as specified in the template.

– The body text / font size should be no smaller than 14 pt.

• Do not change the Page Setup in PowerPoint (your poster will be printed on A1 sized paper, in landscape orientation).

• Remove the images in the template and add your own images to support your descriptions such as data visualisations, graphs or charts, an infographic, tables, photos, images, or a photo of you with your favourite librarians.

• To check the graphics quality of your PDF file, select View > Zoom > Actual Size. If your graphics are looking grainy or blurry you need to increase their size/quality

• Check that your text is not clipped or obscured.

• Make sure you use a valid Twitter handle: the posters will be displayed outside the Eastern Resource Centre (ERC) Library and people will be encouraged to tweet poster authors with questions and comments.
