Poster Tips
Tips for Using Large-Format Poster Template
- Create your poster presentation on blank PowerPoint slides first, making sure to label your slides with the appropriate headings and subheadings.
- Use bullets to minimize the amount of text: be brief and to the point!
- Edit the PowerPoint slides.
- Download the sample template and change the headings and subheadings to match yours.
- Cut text boxes from blank PowerPoint slides and paste them under appropriate headings/subheadings in the large template.
- You can change the text box size by clicking on it and dragging it to your desired size.
- Use the following standard text sizes for the appropriate sections:
- Title: 80
- Author(s): 60
- University of Florida: 54
- Headings: 60
- Subheadings: 48
- Main text: 30-34; no less than 28
- Graphic captions: no less than 16
- Double-check the following before printing:
- Are all of your font types the same?
- Are all of your text sizes consistent for each heading, subheading and text level?
- Are all of your bullets/numbering the same size/style?
- Are your heading boxes properly aligned?
- Are your figures/tables large enough to be readable but not so large that they overwhelm the text?
- Place the blinking cursor on or near your figure/table. Go up to the “zoom” box and select 100%. If you can’t read the axes captions or the text inside your figures/tables at this size, then you need to make them larger.
Tips for using an E-Poster
- Create your e-poster presentation on a blank PowerPoint slide, making sure to label your slides with the appropriate headings and subheadings. Minimize the amount of text: be brief and to the point! You’ll need to make your text font larger so the audience can read it. Bigger text = less text.
