Presentation transcript:

Let’s design a poster! Jennifer Collins – Deputy Head of Clinical Illustration. Mark Smith – Senior Graphic Designer, Dept of Clinical Illustration.

Today you will… Introduction Planning your poster Setting your poster up Layouts Asset management Demonstration

Before you start Don’t just copy your research document or essay Think about how you can visually present your idea or argument Present your ideas in a graphical format Don’t overload with text

It’s easier if you plan your content and layout before you start Mock up a design by hand with a pencil and paper Don’t jump straight in on the computer

Think carefully about your audience Who is going to be looking at and reading your poster Other academics, students or a more general audience

Posters should be eye catching Use imagery and an interesting title to draw readers in Use attractive colours Good visuals Bold text

AO Size and quality Do some setting up before you start 841mm Do some setting up before you start Work at actual size A0 = 1189mm x 841mm A1 = 841mm x 594mm AO 1189mm 210mm A4 841mm

Images Work at hi-resolution when using images, charts and other graphics

Think about colour Stick to a few colours that compliment each other Look at your charts or photographs and pick colours that compliment them Avoid distracting back ground colours and patterns

Get the right layout Use columns to help structure your information Create a natural flow through the poster Create rough sketches to get it right Create a visual hierarchy

Text Titles use 48pt text and larger. Body text use 24pt text or larger. Avoid using funky decorative fonts Use a sans serif font such as Arial Keep the word countdown Don’t use too many fonts

Graphics Use high resolution images and graphics Use copyright free images. Search for creative commons material. Use clipart sparingly…

Software Powerpoint – the weapon of choice Use upto date version

Remember: Set the correct size of your poster in your software before you start.

When you have finished Create a pdf file Send it to Clinical Illustration at rwh-tr.medicalillustration@nhs.net Tell us when you need it Does it need laminating? Do you want it on paper or material?
