Electronic Poster Template • All posters will have the banner graphic and control bar: please use the template to prepare your poster. There is no specific criteria for the layout within the white space – use it as you wish. Design Tips Keep the background simple and subtle; use a light coloured background with dark text. Do not use WordArt, reflections, drop shadows, 3D, semitransparent fills or textured backgrounds; they are unpredictable when moving slides between systems and are not necessary. We will check embedded video and audio files work. We will not be able to check animation. The preferred fonts are Verdana, Calibri or Arial. ANZBA Electronic Posters Electronic posters will be displayed during the ASM on four monitors. The posters will rotate automatically and each poster will be shown for one minute. Delegates will be able to pause individual posters to view them in more detail. There will also be an index to allow delegates to find an individual poster. Posters will be displayed in theme groups (Care, Prevention and Research). Care posters will be displayed over Wednesday and Thursday (due to the volume) and Prevention and Research posters on Friday. During morning and afternoon tea on Wednesday and Thursday and morning tea on Friday, there will be informal discussion sessions with authors of posters. The website will be updated with discussion session details. Delegates will also be able to view posters via the ASM website and App. Media All video and audio files must be embedded in your slide. As you will only be sending a single PowerPoint slide file, do not have links to any external media files. All videos, audio and animations should be set to auto play and finish within the one minute display time. We suggest you only embed one video or audio file and use animation sparingly. Keep it SimpleMake your poster clear and clean: avoid unnecessary clutter and “special effects” that do not add value. Due Date All posters must be uploaded via the ANZBA 2013 Online Portal by 22 September 2013. A QuickTime Sample Video set to AutostartThe original video was in mp4 format, 30 seconds long and 2.1MB.

Electronic Poster Notes The monitors used will be a minimum of 42 inch. The screen aspect ratio is 16:9. NB: The template slide is already set up as a 16:9 slide; save the template slide to your computer to design your poster. Fonts and sizes are at your discretion however, we recommend, Calibri, Arial or Verdana. The template and these instructions are prepared in Verdana 9. Layout is also at your discretion, however, brevity and clarity are the essence of a good electronic poster. The aim of the electronic poster is to display your work in a concise form, enabling delegates to grasp the essentials of the subject in a short time frame. Ensure images/graphs are placed relative to text. Where any references are made to equipment or products, ensure the manufacturer/trade name are used. Electronic posters should be non-commercial and non-promotional in nature. Appropriate acknowledgements for any financial support should be made and patient anonymity must be protected. Video and audio files must be embedded in the PowerPoint single slide you send. External links will not work. Videos should be a maximum of 55 seconds and a maximum size of 20MB. Video and audio must be set to auto play. Check your poster and make sure it is clear and easy to read when viewed on a 42 inch screen from 1.5 metres. It is critical you check your poster on a computer other than the one you use to create the poster because you can check any videos are embedded correctly and the layout and fonts transfer as you want. Many features of PowerPoint can be unpredictable when moving slides between systems and when incorporating slides into a new slide show. Do not use WordArt, reflections, drop shadows, 3D, semitransparent fills or textured backgrounds. Test your poster on another computer and using a 42 inch monitor. This will allow you to check videos and audio files work, fonts transport correctly and general clarity of your poster. Electronic Poster Submission Electronic posters are to be submitted through the ANZBA 2013 Online Portal. The portal will open for the submission of posters on 1 August and close on 22 September. To ensure that your poster is included it must be submitted by 22 September. We will only be checking videos play correctly once you submit your poster. We will not be checking or providing feed back on your layout or design. If we spot anything that clearly doesn’t look correct we will ask you to check your layout and resubmit the poster.
