Tips for making a successful poster…
SAVING YOUR POSTER
Importing / inserting files…
 Re-write your paper into poster format ie.
Simplify everything, avoid data overkill.
Images such as photographs, graphs, diagrams, logos,
etc, can be added to the poster.
 Headings of more than 6 words should be in upper
and lower case, not all capitals.
To insert scanned images into your poster, go through
the menus as follows: Insert / Picture / From File… then
find the file on your computer, select it, and press OK.
 Never do whole sentences in capitals or underline to
stress your point, use bold characters instead.
 When laying out your poster leave breathing space
around you text. Don’t overcrowd your poster.
 Try using photographs or colorful graphs. Avoid long
numerical tables.
 Spell check and get someone else to proof-read.
Captions to be set in Times or
Times New Roman or
equivalent, italic, between 18
and 24 points. Right aligned if
it refers to a figure on its right.

edge of the picture (graph or
photo).
The best type of image files to insert are JPEG or TIFF,
JPEG is the preferred format.
Be aware of the image size you are importing.
Do not use images from the web.
