Once your packet has been signed off on, you may THEN AND ONLY THEN begin to gather images for your poster. Once you have all of your images in your 365 Word document, then you may work on the fonts sizes and styles. Font sizes and styles tips: For large boards – use size 12-14 fonts (16 is ok, too) For small/medium boards – use size 12 fonts Be sure your font is legible!!! Don’t use unnecessary page breaks.
