Tips for Creating Poster Presentations

Biomedical Communications can design, lay out and print your poster presentation. If you would like to create your own poster design, we would like to offer the following suggestions:

Software:
Photoshop, Quark, In-Design and PowerPoint

  • •If you are suing a PC or a MAC, create high-resolution TIFF, JPEG, PDF or PPT files
  • If you are using a MAC, create fully collected Quark or In-Design files
  • When using PowerPoint to create a poster that is smaller than 36” x 48”, please choose a set-up size that is 100% of your final poster size. If you are creating a poster that is larger than 36” x 48”, choose a set-up that is one-half the size of your final poster, and be sure the size you choose is proportional to your final poster size. For example, if you would like a final poster size of 48” x 96”, choose a page set-up of 24” x 48”.

Fonts

  • Choose a standard font, such as Times Roman or Arial
  • The author’s text should be one-half the size of the title text
  • The main text should be approximately one-third the size of the header text

Images

  • Imported images need to be 150-300 dpi JPEG files
  • Keep in mind that it is illegal to download images from web sites without prior, written permission
