Poster Guidelines and Submission Instructions
Deadline: March 27, 2008
Use the poster template to create your poster. As you prepare your poster, please keep in mind that your audience may have no prior knowledge of your topic. Please follow the guidelines presented below.
- Your banner should contain a title for your project, the authors, and the college. Use the font and color choices provided on the template.
- Do not change the font colors and size from those in the template. Do not move or resize the logo.
- The font for text within the poster should be no smaller than 32 point.
- The background of your poster needs to be white. A darker background will bleed.
- You are encouraged to use graphs, photographs, and other visual aides to help the viewer understand your project.
- The poster should be 48 inches wide by 36 inches high.
- Your poster will be hung prior to the Symposium. Do not remove your poster after it is hung.
Please proofread your poster with care. Due to the high cost of printing, only one copy of each poster will be printed. If you make an error on your poster, you will be charged $25 to print a second copy.
Save your poster with a filename is that of the presenting author, in the format “last-name_first-name.ppt”. For example, Albert Einstein’s poster would be saved as Einstein_Albert.ppt. Email your completed poster to Ashley Machado (amachad3@fau.edu) , by April 5th, using “poster submission” as the subject line.
Tips for Poster Preparation
- For scientific posters, be sure to clearly state the question your study addresses, your hypotheses, and your conclusions. Give a brief description of your methods.
- Use handouts to supplement your poster, if appropriate.
- Place related materials (for instance, a photo with accompanying text) close together, then highlight themes by framing collections of material with blank space.
