  11. Saving Your Poster There are simple steps to develop a perfect poster. Following the procedures outlined will help avoid mistakes and save time and frustration. 1. Create your poster Use the attached templates to create the poster. Microsoft Word is not a very good layout program and is not recommended. 2. Saveyour posterin 2 formats: JPEG and PDF 3. ToConvert your poster to a PDF format: In PowerPoint: Office > Save As> PDF 4. ToConvert your poster to a JPEG format: In PowerPoint: Office > Save As> Other Formats> JPEG (drop down menu) 5. Save your poster using a recognized naming convention Use your last name and first initial plus a version (For example: “SmithM_poster-v001”) 6. Poster to be submitted via email by mentor in both formats – PDF and JPEG www.nasa.gov

  12. Template Choices There are several templates from which to chose. You may also create your own. However, try to make your new template conform to the same standards as the ones shown here. The placeholder picture on the clear template should be replaced with your own graphics and text. Templates are available at: http://new2nasa.wikispaces.com/Poster+Presentation www.nasa.gov

  13. Template Size 32” (Narrow Dimension of Sheet) 1. All available templates have a file size of: 32” X 42.” 2. Working area: Allowing for a 1” bleed strip that will be trimmed off on all four sides, the final size of your poster will be: 30” X 40” 3. Content area: This is the 28” X 38” safe area to place your content; don’t put text or graphics too close to the edge. 42” (Wide Dimension of Sheet) www.nasa.gov

  14. Working Area 30” (Narrow Dimension) The working area is the entire file as defined by the crop marks. This is the size your poster will be - after trimming. Don’t go beyond the dashed red line or you’ll lose part of your text and/or graphics. You may intentionally want bleed. In that case, it is OK. Proper Bleed Part of the blue sky will be chopped off -- to the left of the red dashed line. This is OK; the photo will look fine. 40” (Wide Dimension) Improper Bleed The tail of the helicopter will be chopped off and will cause it to crash - not to mention what it will do to your poster. Crop Marks www.nasa.gov

  15. Content Area • The content area is where you place all of your text, photos, graphics, logos, etc. • It is important to stay inside the content area or you may have your data cut off. Ouch! • The font should be easy to read and not too small. (10 pt. or larger) • Remember that low resolution images print as low resolution, so try to use the best ones you have. Printed size at 72 dpi should be fine. 28” (Narrow Dimension) Bad Positioning This pilot has his face crammed against the edge of the trimmed poster. He crossed the line and it shows. 38” (Wide Dimension) Good Positioning She didn’t cross the line. Notice the nice black edge to the right and below the photo. Unless you purposely want to bleed your photo off the edge, this is much better. www.nasa.gov

  16. A Successful Poster Here are a few additional things to consider: • Read and follow the instructions. • Think and plan ahead. • Use a clean, simple design and font. • Don’t reinvent the wheel. • Ask questions. Listen to the answers. • Proof your work. • Proof it again. • Finish early. We are proud to publish your work! www.nasa.gov
