  5. Guidelines - Font • Create in PowerPoint and set size of slide/poster (before adding content) • Design Tab >  Page Setup • Average Poster Size – 28’’ x 40’’ (inches) • Orientation - Portrait • Text - No smaller than 20pt • Title - should be at least 60pt • Be careful of fancy, elaborate, script or any font that may be hard to read from a distance…remember that simpler is better

  6. Guidelines - Color • Beware of dark backgrounds • Light backgrounds with dark text work best • Watch color combinations • Images on your screen reproduce differently on a poster

  7. Guidelines - Graphics • Graphs – good • Clip art – if tasteful • Photos work – just don’t use too many • Make sure any extra picture or clipart you use is related to your specific topic and is not too general
