TIP #1: Suggestions if you include data/graphs:
Clearly label graph axes, be simple, and use colors that are easy to see against the background. Photos are a good way to draw attention to your poster. Be sure each photo has a caption that explains what the photo is showing and only use photos that illustrate your text. Photos should be high resolution (about 1200 x 1800 pixels or larger). Avoid web images unless they are of high resolution and okay for educational purposes. Images obtained from the web should include the source (credit). Avoid use of clip art unless there is no other image available.
TIP #2: Put Boxes around your text sections:
Add space between the edge of your box and the text inside. Right click or Ctrl – click on text box, go to ‘Format Shape’, then select ‘Text Box’ and make sure your ‘Internal Margins’ are between .2” and .4” for all sides. (Delete ‘Heading 2’ and Use either ‘Background’ or ‘Introduction’ but not both. Replace text in this box with your own)
