About this template

Thank you for using this poster template.
The colors we have chosen for this template work very well when
printed. They help the content stand out without the stark white look so
common with other presentation posters.
If you need to change the colors and use your own color scheme got to
VIEW>MASTER>SLIDE MASTER to access the elements of the
background.
It’s always good to use the largest images you have available for your
poster. Avoid images taken from the web and avoid copying and
pasting images. Instead try to INSERT>PICTURE>FROM FILE to
bring images to your poster.
Would you like to have your poster professionally
designed and save yourself the time and effort?
This template is designed to produce a 60x36 poster.
You can modify it as needed for your presentation before you send it back
to www.PosterPresentations.com for premium quality next day affordable
printing. By using this template your poster will look professional, easy to
read and save you valuable time from trying to figure out proper
placement of titles, subtitles and text body.

This template uses four columns. Depending on the amount of content
you need for your presentation you may want to change the number of
columns. For your convenience, we have included four alternate master
layouts. To select a different layout go to FORMAT>SLIDE DESIGN
(Figure A). The slide design pane will open (Figure B). From there you
can select your alternate layout (Figures C).
1. Your multi-page PowerPoint presentation(s) containing the
images, logos, graphs, charts, tables and text content for the
poster.
Although PowerPoint is very forgiving when it comes to printing low
resolution images, if you scale your images more than 200% after you
bring them in, the image quality will suffer. See the example below:
Select the element of the
background you want to change
the color of and chose your
custom fill color.

For PowerPoint beginners we have included a few tips that will hopefully
make your design experience a little easier. If you don’t need the help you

Text sizes used
Original image at 100%, enlarged 200% and 400%.
The blue headers are a nice way to separate the main topics of your
presentation. Click on them to move the around and to change the text as
needed.
The most commonly used headers in poster presentations are:
 Introduction, Summary or Abstract
 Materials and Methods
 Results
 Conclusion
 Literature Cited
 Acknowledgements
Suggestion: An easy way to see what an
image is going to print like is to change
your VIEW>ZOOM setting to 100% and
look at the images up close. What you’ll
see at 100% is very close to what your
images will look like when printed.
Importing slides from a PowerPoint document with many
pages
This template uses the Arial family at several text sizes.
You can use any typeface you wish but what is used here works well
with this poster format.
Charts & Graphs
This template uses Arial Black 49 for the title, Arial Narrow 27 and 19
for subtitles, Narrow 19 Bold for headers and Arial Narrow 16 for the
text body. You can change the text body size up or down if you need to
but we recommend that you don’t go too much bigger or too much
smaller. Keep in mind that this template will print at 200% its size.
Charts & Graphs: To bring in charts and graphs from Excel, Word or
other applications, go to EDIT>COPY to copy your chart, come back to
PowerPoint, and go to EDIT>PASTE to paste it on the poster. You can
scale the charts or graphs as needed.
Suggestion: If you cut and paste text from Word, or another source
onto this document your text will maintain its formatting and you will
need to change it so it will match the rest of the text on this page.
Refer to the text sizes indicated above.
Many times the information you want to use in
your poster exists on multiple slides in one or
more PowerPoint presentations. An easy way
to extract the information and bring it in your
poster is to go to FILE>SAVE
AS>ENHANCED WINDOWS METAFILE (A).
Suggestion: Press the SHIFT key as you scale your charts or graphs
to scale them proportionally.
You will be prompted to
choose whether you want
to save all or only the
current slide as a Metafile
