Poster Guidelines

The presentation board is 4 ft. by 4 ft. and is made of fabric.  Your poster size (PowerPoint) should be 34 inches (height) by 44 inches (width).  The layout should be readable from a distance.  Your pages will be mounted on the presentation board with velcro (which you must provide—can be bought by the yard at Dollar General; is also available as dots from Walmart).  Remember the presentation is visual.  This is NOT an essay or prose paper.  Please be creative in designing your posters. The format should be your PowerPoint presentation (keep the font size for most text around 24 to 28 pts., even 32 pts.; titles and headings can be up to 44 pts.).

1. Please obtain a PowerPoint template from your mentor and make sure it is set with the right parameters (PAGE SETUP: height 34", and width 44").
2. Make sure that the text and figures are at least one inch away from the four (4) margins of the poster.
