1. About this Template
5. Customizing the Template Color Schemes
7. Labeling your Headers
This template was designed to produce a correctly sized poster for the Conference on Higher Education Pedagogy.
You can modify it freely!
This free template was downloaded and modified from PosterPresentations.com.
The blue headers are used to identify and separate the main topics of your presentation. Find more information about the expected documentation in the SimplyScience description for Task 2.
For those who wish to further personalize their poster presentation, we have included a number of printer-tested alternative color schemes for this poster template.
If you want to change the default colors and use your own color scheme, go to FORMAT>SLIDE DESIGN. Select COLOR SCHEMES.
8. Importing Tables & Graphs
To import charts and graphs from Excel, Word or other applications, copy your chart and come back to PowerPoint. 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.
2. Poster Basics – Poster Layout
To start using this template you first need to delete most of the contents of this page. Keep the poster title and one of the blue section headers. After you decide how many sections you need for your poster (Introduction, Methods, Results, References, etc.), use the “copy” and “paste” commands to create as many copies of the blue section headers as needed. You can now start adding your text. To add text use the text tool to draw a text box starting from the left edge of a column to the right edge and start typing in your text. You can also paste the text you may have already copied from another source.
6. Importing Photographs
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.

3. Text Sizes
To insert an image to your poster go to INSERT>PICTURE>FROM FILE.
Be sure the photo is of sufficient resolution for quality printing, but not so large as to create a PDF file that is > 6 MB.
You can use any font you like but please make sure that it is easily readable (e.g. Arial, Calibri). Use font size 24 for the text in the columns.
9. Poster Guidelines
Posters are meant to be conversation starters and reference sources. Images, graphs, and short bulleted lists will garner attention and direct discussion. Less is more when it comes to posters!
