1. Create your Poster in Power Point

 2. Select the "Design" Tab. Go to "Slide Size", choose "Custom".  Choose 36" x 42" or another similar size. Decide whether you want your poster to hang Portrait or Landscape orientation.

3. Font and Text Features

  • Arial or Verdana
  • No more than 3 fonts per page
  • No print smaller than 14pt; most print should be 20-34pts.
  • All figures should have captions or text alternatives (describe any image)
  • Do not use directional language (e.g., read below, see the menu to the left). Instead label and or number all figures and tables.
  • Use clear headings to break up content
  • Avoid blank cells in tables
  1. SAVE AS PDF

Use the SAVE AS Feature to save your power point poster as a PDF. Do not save your document as a PDF from the Print menu since this will eliminate the accessibility built into the document.
