A couple of years ago, if you wanted to be the owner of a cell phone you had to work hard for it and had to be more mature, with an age of 15 years or more. This motivated us to see if a high number of people have cell phones on our region. At today’s generation children with an age between 8 or 10 years have any kind of cell phones. In the year 1990, 12.4 million people worldwide had cellular subscriptions. By the end of 2009, only 20 years later, the number of mobile phone subscriptions worldwide reached approximately 4.6 billion, 370 times the 1990 number. 11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222 22222 3333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333 444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444 5555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555 6666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666 77777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777 888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE We hope you find this template useful! This one is set up to yield a 36x48” vertical poster. We’ve put in the headings we usually see in these posters, you can copy and paste and change to your hearts content! We’ve left our text in red so you’ll know what text you have brought in, and be sure to get rid of anything we put in. We suggest you use black text against a light background so that it is easy to read. Background color can be changed in format-background-drop down color menu. The boxes around the text will automatically fit the text you type, and if you click on the text, you can use the little handles that appear to stretch or squeeze the text boxes to whatever size you want. You can simply delete the lines by going to format-colors and lines and selecting no line. The dotted lines through the center of the piece will not print, they are for alignment. You can move them around by clicking and holding them, and a little box will tell you where they are on the page. Use them to get your pictures or text boxes aligned together. We suggest you not use semi-transparent fills, which can be troublesome in printing. How to bring things in from Excel and Word Excel- select the chart, hit edit-copy, and then edit-paste into PowerPoint. The chart can then be stretched to fit as required. If you need to edit parts of the chart, it can be ungrouped. Watch out for scientific symbols used in imported charts, which PowerPoint will not recognize as a used font unless you used it elsewhere on the poster, and may print improperly if we don’t have the font installed on our system. It is best to stick with Arial, Times New Roman, and Symbol to avoid font problems. Word- select the text to be brought into PowerPoint, hit edit-copy, then edit-paste the text into a new or existing text block. This text is editable. You can change the size, color, etc. in format-text. We suggest you not put shadows on smaller text. Charts and tables that come in funny, or look bad when you try to resize them, can often be fixed by re-pasting them using paste special as an enhanced metafile. Scans We need images to be 72 to100 dpi in their final size, or use a rule of thumb of 2 to 4 megabytes of uncompressed.tif file per square foot of image. For instance, a 3x5 photo that will be 6x10 in size on the final poster should be scanned at 200 dpi. We prefer that you import tif or jpg images into PowerPoint. If you are designing your poster on a PC and using digital pictures generated on a Mac, be sure to convert them to tif or jpg before bringing them into PowerPoint. PICT files will display but not print. Preview: To see your poster in actual size, go to view-zoom-100%. This is a good way to be sure your pictures are going to look OK.
