Tips for making a successful poster:
Methodology
Images such as photographs,
graphs, diagrams, logos, etc, can be
added to the poster. Scans are also
OK if resolution is good.
Be aware of the image size you are
importing. The average colour photo
(13 x 18cm at 180dpi) would be
about 3Mb. Do not use images
posted on web pages.
▪ Plan your story before you begin.

Printing and Framing
When completed, bring the poster to
S-114 for printing. We will produce a
Legal size draft print for you to check
and proof read. The final poster will
then be printed and framed.
Note: Do not leave your poster until
the last minute. Allow at least 3
working days before you need it.
The Open Capstone Initiative will pay
the printing cost.

lower case, not all capitals.
▪ Do not use capitals or underline to
stress your point, use bold instead.

▪ Leave breathing space around your
text. Don’t overcrowd your poster.

Whenever possible, attach legends directly to your plots
rather than using a legend box somewhere in the frame.
This will help readers to get more easily to your message.
