(2) Use the text box at the top to insert your title, name, faculty mentor, and academic department affiliation. Simply click on the text boxes and type over the generic place holder text. The template text boxes on the left are for you to use for various sections of your poster. Feel free to delete them if you don’t use them or add more text boxes, but remember that your font size should be at least 22 points or larger so that text can be easily read from four or five feet away. Try to avoid long paragraphs since most visitors will only be able to devote a few minutes to your poster and you will be there to explain it to them. The background is currently blank, but you may choose to set the background to something more interesting if you wish, but do not use dark backgrounds. (3) Activate the Ruler under the View menu to allow you to estimate the actual size of content you type or insert into this slide once printed. For example, a picture that appears to be only a few inches on this screen may well be HUGE once printed. Use the ruler to appreciate the true size of objects. Use the Zoom under the View menu to edit text or work on text/image alignments or spacing. (4) Do not simply cut and paste images into this slide. Pictures and figures should be INSERTED into this file from other programs using the Insert menu, then Picture: From File. In order to keep imported image file sizes down, scale your original images to approximately 100 pixels per inch of length/width to be printed on your poster. For example, if you want a square image to be two inches by two inches once printed, you will need to import an image that measures ~200 pixels by 200 pixels. While it is true that you can resize images in PowerPoint, you don't change the file size, which can cause printing problems later on. Programs such as Adobe Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro are great for sizing your images prior to importing them into this slide. Warning: If you fail to correctly scale your images prior to importing them into your poster, you run the risk of generating a poster file that will be megabytes and may fail to print on the large format printer. Take the time to prepare you images! (5) As you work, PLEASE save your file multiple times. When you have completed your poster, make certain to proofread it for errors. (6) Final Save: Do not simply Save as a ppt file. When you are completely finished, use the Package for CD under the File menu. Choose the Copy to Folder option to save it on the network, a thumb drive (memory stick), or CD. This method of saving the file ensures that all of the embedded images are actually saved with the pptx file, instead of only links to the images. Send the packaged folder to your faculty sponsor for her/his approval. The file will be printed on a poster printer in Hays Hall. All PowerPoint files must be saved as a PowerPoint package and uploaded to the Research Celebration Moodle page by Monday January 24. You will be given a scheduled time for you to print your file on that date. For questions and support, please contact Media Services Specialist, Adam Bowen ). Thanks to Lon Porter for writing these instructions, Scott Feller for making the poster printer available, and Adam Bowen and the Media Center staff for helping students create posters for the Celebration of Student Research, Scholarship, and Creative Work.
