Poster design tips:

Students have to use Microsoft PowerPoint to design posters. They must begin by setting the page size to their
final poster size.

Use of large text (text should be at least 18-24pt; headings 30-60pt; title >72pt.)

Not to use more than 2-3 font styles overall

Use of fonts that are easy to read (such as Times New Roman, Garamond, and Arial)

Avoid jagged edges left-justify text within text boxes or fully justify blocks of text

Avoid too much text (no more than 800 words max)

Careful choice of colors and attention to contrast.

Organizing and aligning content with columns, sections, headings, and blocks of text

White space is important to increase visual appeal and readability (this is the “empty” space between sections,
columns, headings, blocks of text, and graphics).

Selective incorporation of charts, graphs, photographs, key quotations from primary sources, maps, and other
graphics that support the theme of the poster. It is best to avoid using tables of data.

Avoid fuzzy images; make sure all graphics are high-resolution (at least 300ppi) and easily visible

Include the QU logo

Edit the poster carefully for typographic or grammatical mistakes and image quality before the final print-out
(use the print-preview function
