2. Tips for creating your poster Replace the text in the template by typing in your own text, or copy and paste your text from a Microsoft Word document or similar. Use the template as it is, or be creative and change the layout, text boxes, colours and fonts, just make sure you: –Do not change the layout of the top and bottom banners on the poster. –Include the required information on the poster as specified in the template. –The body text / font size should be no smaller than 14 pt. Do not change the Page Setup in PowerPoint (your poster will be printed on A1 sized paper, in landscape orientation). Remove the images in the template and add your own images to support your descriptions such as data visualisations, graphs or charts, an infographic, tables, photos, images, or a photo of you with your favourite librarians. To check the graphics quality of your PDF file, select View > Zoom > Actual Size. If your graphics are looking grainy or blurry you need to increase their size/quality Check that your text is not clipped or obscured. Make sure you use a valid Twitter handle: the posters will be displayed outside the Eastern Resource Centre (ERC) Library and people will be encouraged to tweet poster authors with questions and comments.
