This is extra large text so is it is visible on screen. To review the size of your poster set the magnification is 100% and that will give you an indication of how your poster will look printed. Do remember to do test prints. Margins cannot be created in PowerPoint so when designing your poster leave a margin for printing, text at the very edge may disappear when printed. Try to keep the gaps between boxes the same size. You can move and resize any of the boxes accept for the QR code box bottom left. You can arrange your text boxes to best fit your content, balance is good eg using three or five columns of the same width. Take into consideration your eye reading across the page if it becomes too long it is easy to get confused as to where to read next. Examples are given of single text boxes and layered text boxes, layered text boxes give you more flexibility but you will need to spend time aligning them. Limit the number of different text sizes to four – please refer to the APAC 2016 Poster tricks and tips for more information. Get the content as close to final as possible before spending time and adjusting the layout – small changes in content can mean a lot of repositioning.
