1 Title Goes Here Subtitle goes here if needed Introduction Methods
Author(s), Department(s), MacEwan University Introduction Methods Conclusions This PowerPoint template is an example of how you might design a conference poster. It includes design tips and best practices. Do not make your poster too text-heavy. Use elements to attract people to your poster and quickly communicate your research, e.g., Photographs Tables Charts Bulleted lists Software You can create your poster in any preferred program (e.g., PowerPoint, In Design, LaTeX). PowerPoint is recommended since it is available on all campus computers, and is easy to work with. There are also many PowerPoint poster templates available online to help you get started. Poster Size 36” x 48” is standard. Verify poster size with conference organizers before you start working on your poster. In PowerPoint set up the poster size by going to the Design tab>> Slide Size>> Custom Slide Size. Section Headings The section headings in this template are only suggestions commonly used in scientific posters and are not required. MacEwan Logo Students should include a MacEwan logo in the top left of posters. Either use the logo on this template, or visit the Library’s Share Your Work guide ( for additional options. Text Make sure your fonts are easy to read: Text size: point. Section and sub-headings: larger (e.g. 48 point). Captions and labels: smaller (e.g. 22 point). Printing Before printing your poster: Proofread it. View it full screen. Save it as a PDF. Colour and Layout Use colour to highlight and organize information. Avoid using too many different colours or an overly “busy” design. Keep it simple! Use contrast. Make sure your text is easy to read against any background colours. Where to print: MacEwan Print Services City Centre Campus Rm Vivid Print on Whyte Ave. Results Using Images Use high resolution images (300 dpi). Avoid using web captures—these often turn out blurry when printed. Put a thin outline around photos so they stand out from the background. Include a caption & any credits beneath photos. Using Tables and Charts: Ensure tables and charts match your colour scheme. Give tables and charts a title. Always include a caption. References Provide complete citations for any sources you reference in the text of your poster. For citation help visit: MacEwan University’s citation guides: Purdue University’s citation guides: Simon Fraser University Library’s guide on citing images:.
