HOW TO USE THIS TEMPLATE (36 pt.)
General information (28 pt.)
This template produces a 6’ by 3’ poster
The white columns are shapes and are adjustable so you are able to remove/add columns as needed
Text boxes are placed on top of these shapes
Copy and paste styles to replicate them in other columns
PowerPoint provides guides to make sure your text is centered and lines up with other text boxes
Fonts and styles
Your font size should be no smaller than 20 pt. (this sentence is an example)
This template uses 16 pt. font so you can have a lot of useful information, but make sure you increase the size before you enter in your content.
Do not change the font. Regular text should be Franklin Gothic Book and bold text should be Franklin Gothic Demi
Your font color should be dark grey for paragraph text and dark blue for headlines and important information. You can use the eyedropper tool to grab the blue if it is not in your default options.
You should break down your font styles using the following guide:
HEADING 1 (36 pt.): USE THIS STYLE FOR IMPORTANT TITLES SUCH AS INTRODUCTION, RESULTS AND DISCUSSION (SEE THE EXAMPLE AT THE TOP OF THIS SECTION). THIS SHOULD ALSO BE THE LARGEST TEXT OF YOUR POSTER.
Heading 2 (28 pt.): Use this style for secondary headlines and for highlighting important information. This would be a great style option for calling out your research questions or steps for methodology.
Heading 3 (24 pt.): Use this style for calling out important information in your text or has a third heading in your content.
Paragraph (20 pt.): Use this style for regular paragraph text.
Bulleted lists and separating content
Try to avoid using large paragraphs on your poster. Bulleted lists combined with headings will help your user understand your key points. You can use the bulleted list template below
