Conclusions
Please read the .doc file on tips for making posters in powerpoint;
it has more information than this file. You can copy from your
“many slides” presentation and paste into this “one large page”
presentation. Font sizes can be adjusted to fit the new format. You
can also apply any of the powerpoint color templates to this large
page. If necessary, the color templates can be changed to suit
your needs by viewing the Master Page, and adjusting the
elements there. You used pastel blue shades in your original files.
These would both work, but we might have to make them a little
lighter.Each of these sections can have a “decorative” headline,
using a line or box to set it off…. if you want.The rest of the
section should be a plain font (this is Times new roman) and
should be at least 24 ppi. This is 30 ppi.
It’s good to divide this big page into 3 or 4 columns. You can use
decorative dividing lines between the columns, or leave white
spaceYou can “box” in sections with results/data, or other
sections you want to empasize.

Conclusions
If you have results or data in visual form (anything that
is NOT text) make them large.
They catch the eye, and tell your story quickly.
Is there a way to represent more of your poster with
visual data? Pictures, charts, tables, graphs? Use
them.
