Page Setup for content:
Width - 38 inches
Height - 28 inches
(Page size for the poster itself 30 X 40
This requires a 1- inch margin as the buffer area)
Start the design:
Insert text ( it will size itself to the poster dimensions)
Insert logos ( You will have to determine how big you want
them
Insert Pictures/Tables/Figures ( size to your desires)
This is the time to play around with the format/setup/colors - brainstorm

Things to be aware of
 Put
the poster on a screen, step back and
get a feel for the colors, fonts, and “white
space.” (Get comments from others!”
 Try to get the poster done in advance.
That means???
 Take to DECS with time to spare to let
the poster dry.
 If laminating, I suggest letting it sit
overnight.
Be Aware continued



Poster boards should be 30 X 40, so
poster with or without lamination should
not be larger than 30 X 40
Use spray glue to attach poster to board.
Teamwork is important here, so enlist
others to help center and attach poster to
board.
