Text 28-32 ptWe hope you find this template useful! This one is set up to yield a 48x36” (4x3’) horizontal poster.

We’ve put in the headings we usually see in these posters, you can copy and paste and change to your hearts content! We’ve left our text in red so you’ll know what text you have brought in, and be sure to get rid of anything we put in. We suggest you use black text against a light background so that it is easy to read. Background color can be changed in format-background-drop down color menu. Color in text boxes or title boxes can be changed by clicking on the box and clicking on Format-text box-fill color. Text color can be changed by Format-font-color. You can also create various fill patterns in backgrounds or text boxes.

The boxes around the text will automatically fit the text you type, and if you click on the text, you can use the little handles that appear to stretch or squeeze the text boxes to whatever size you want. You can simply delete the lines by going to format-colors and lines and selecting no line.

The dotted lines through the center of the piece will not print, they are for alignment. You can move them around by clicking and holding them, and a little box will tell you where they are on the page. Use them to get your pictures or text boxes aligned together.

How to bring things in from Excel and Word

Excel- select the chart, hit edit-copy, and then edit-paste into PowerPoint. The chart can then be stretched to fit as required. If you need to edit parts of the chart, it can be ungrouped. Watch out for scientific symbols used in imported charts, which PowerPoint will not recognize as a used font and may print improperly if we don’t have the font installed on our system.

Word- select the text to be brought into PowerPoint, hit edit-copy, then edit-paste the text into a new or existing text block. This text is editable. You can change the size, color, etc. in format-text. We suggest you not put shadows on smaller text.

Scans

You need images to be 72 to 100 dpi in their final size, or use a rule of thumb of 2 to 4 megabytes of uncompressed .tif file per square foot of image. For instance, a 3x5 photo that will be 6x10 in size on the final poster should be scanned at 200 dpi.

Preview: To see your in poster in actual size, go to view-zoom-100%. This is a good way to be sure your pictures are going to look OK.

This template is a suggestion in terms of the number of pictures and their positions. Feel free to be creative.
