How to use the pro-forma (above) to make a poster:
1. Type the details of your research/name/etc over the text in the above pro-forma. i.e. type your name over ‘Researcher’s Name’; and add three
sentences about your research in the grey box (deleting the ‘Overview of research in 3 sentences’ text)…. Etc.
2. If text does not fit, either:
a. cut the text
b. adjust the font size (but do NOT make it any smaller than 12 point or it will not be easy to read from a distance, even after doubling the
size of the paper).
c. adjust the size of the text boxes (you can do this by using the pointer tool on the ‘drawing’ menu).
* note: if you’re proficient at using word drawing tools, feel free to make as many changes as you want to the pro-forma
(it’s just meant as a guide)!
3. If any sections are irrelevant for your project change them.
4. Add any pictures/graphs/images you want to include.
5. When you’re done, print out the finished poster.
6. And copy it onto A3 (or bigger) paper. You’re done!
7. Please then email Karen Throsby (K.Throsby@warwick.ac.uk) to let us know that you will be contributing a poster.
8. The NVFAD begins at 2pm, so please come a bit earlier to hang your poster before it starts. Alternatively, you can send the poster to Karen
Throsby in advance and we will hang it for you
