Heading Size (48-42pt)
Body text should be about 28 point or larger for readability. Try not to have too much text as it makes for a “dry” poster .
Using a single box for all text within a “slide” (this blue panel) makes for easy formatting.
Any oddball symbols should be embedded incase they don’t exist in the font you finally use.
Try not to use a lot of different fonts in a poster as it gets confusing. Different areas can be linked by color outline (Part one is red, part two is green).
A white background makes life a lot easier for printing.
Don’t use colored text as it can be hard to read.
