About this template Using Headings and Textboxes Importing Photographs This template can be modified to fit any poster that is 36 X 48. There is a good deal of clipping that occurs due to the margin limitations of the printer (1/4” top and bottom and. 75” left and right). Copy and Paste heading boxes to create new headings with the same attributes. Drag and drop them to the appropriate locations to meet your needs. They should snap to a location aligned with the edges of the column placeholders. If not, use alignment tools to precisely align left to right with the column placeholders. It is highly recommended to use the largest images you have access to for your poster at least 300 dpi. Avoid low resolution images downloaded from the web and avoid copying and pasting screen resolution images. To insert an image to your poster go to: INSERT>PICTURE>FROM FILE Font Types Our main typeface is Helvetica Neue. It can be used in all instances, including subheads and body copy. When using Helvetica Neue Condensed Black, use it in all caps and only for headlines. Alternate Font: When Helvetica Neue is not available, use Helvetica as a suitable replacement. Type description text within the column placeholders themselves. Add empty paragraphs to allow for placement of heading boxes. Using the Template Color Schemes Please do not adjust the color scheme of the ‘blue and gold’ elements of this template. WVU ‘blue and gold’ are used here for consistency, following the WVU brand color guidelines. Use the top line of colors under “Theme Colors” when choosing fill or text colors from the color dialogues. “Paste Special” also offers more options that will make the resulting images of higher quality. When the only source of a needed photo or graphic is the Web, scaling has to be applied with caution. Scaling an image more than three times its original size may introduce pixelization artifacts. Refer to figure 1 as an example. A simple way to preview the printing quality of an image is to zoom in at 100% or 200%, depending on the final size of the poster. What you’ll see is likely what you’ll get at printing time. Our secondary typeface is Iowan Old Style. Like Helvetica Neue, Iowan Old Style is compelling enough for headlines, and legible enough for large amounts of smaller copy. Importing Tables & Graphs Importing tables, charts and graphs is easier than importing photos. To import charts and graphs from Excel, Word or other applications, go to EDIT>COPY, copy your chart and come back to Power. Point. Go to EDIT>PASTE and paste the chart on the poster. You can scale your charts and tables proportionally by holding down the Shift key and dragging in or out one of the corners (not the sides or middle). 2001 1999 2.

Select “Printer Properties” Labeling your headers Helvetica Neue Condensed Black is our primary typeface for headlines, and should always be set in all caps. Do not use Helvetica Condensed Black for anything other than headlines. Figure 1: Original image at 100%, enlarged 200% and 400%. Accent Palette Use a text size that can be read from 6 feet away.

TABLE ONE 1998 How to prepare your poster for printing The gold with blue lettered headers are used to identify and separate the main topics of your presentation. The most commonly used headers in poster presentations are: Introduction, Summary or Abstract Conclusion Materials and Methods Literature Cited Results Acknowledgements 5. On the “My Tab” tab, select “Paper Size” and choose the size you require (8. 5” x 11”, 8. 5” x 14”, or 11” x 17”) 6. Click “OK” and “Print” Using Slides There are 7 pre-made layouts in the following slides. Choose whichever layout best matches your data.

You can modify pasted objects, such as charts from Excel or objects drawn in other programs, by ungrouping them by going to DRAW menu and selecting UNGROUP. You may have to UNGROUP several times. If pasted as a picture, an object is not editable in Power. Point. To accurately align or evenly distribute objects within specified area, select the objects you want to align or distribute and go to the DRAW menu and select ALIGN OR DISTIBUTE. • Slide #6 Has 2 columns one that is 27. 66” X 29. 56” 18. 15” X 29. 56” • Slide #7 Has 2 columns one that is 18. 15” X 29. 56” 27. 66” X 29. 56” • Slide #8 Has no columns.

Your Title Goes Here Your name and the names of the people who have contributed to this presentation go here. The names and addresses of the associated institutions go here. About this template Using Headings and Textboxes Importing Photographs This template can be modified to fit any poster that is 36 X 48. There is a good deal of clipping that occurs due to the margin limitations of the printer (1/4” top and bottom and. 75” left and right). The actual amount of printable space that can be printed is 46. 5” wide by 35. 5” high, represented by the gray frame in this slide. Test to see if your images are within these limitations by pasting the gray frame over your finished poster. Copy and Paste heading boxes to create new headings with the same attributes. Drag and drop them to the appropriate locations to meet your needs. They should snap to a location aligned with the edges of the column placeholders. If not, use alignment tools to precisely align left to right with the column placeholders. It is highly recommended to use the largest images you have access to for your poster at least 300 dpi. Avoid low resolution images downloaded from the web and avoid copying and pasting screen resolution images. To insert an image to your poster go to: INSERT>PICTURE>FROM FILE There is a version without the MBRCC picture in the top right by right clicking the slide and going to layout and selecting the version without the picture. Font Types Primary Font: Goudy is WVU’s official typeface. Using Goudy helps ensure a consistent appearance for all WVU communications. Other typefaces may be used, however. Times or (Times Roman) makes a good substitute. Type description text within the column placeholders themselves. Add empty paragraphs to allow for placement of heading boxes. Using the Template Color Schemes Please do not adjust the color scheme of the ‘blue and gold’ elements of this template. WVU ‘blue and gold’ are used here for consistency, following the WVU brand color guidelines. Use the top line of colors under “Theme Colors” when choosing fill or text colors from the color dialogues. “Paste Special” also offers more options that will make the resulting images of higher quality.

What you’ll see is likely what you’ll get at printing time. Secondary Font: Helvetica works well with Goudy as a secondary typeface, and in applications where Goudy may not be desirable. Arial is a good substitute for Helvetica. Importing Tables & Graphs Importing tables, charts and graphs is easier than importing photos. To import charts and graphs from Excel, Word or other applications, go to EDIT>COPY, copy your chart and come back to Power. Point. Go to EDIT>PASTE and paste the chart on the poster. You can scale your charts and tables proportionally by holding down the Shift key and dragging in or out one of the corners (not the sides or middle).
