1. About this Template

for the Conference on Higher Education Pedagogy.

This free template was downloaded and modified from

5. Customizing the Template Color
Schemes
For those who wish to further personalize their poster
presentation, we have included a number of printer-tested
alternative color schemes for this poster template.
If you want to change the default colors and use your own color
scheme, go to FORMAT>SLIDE DESIGN. Select COLOR
SCHEMES.
2. Poster Basics – Poster Layout
To start using this template you first need to delete most of the
contents of this page. Keep the poster title and one of the blue
section headers.
After you decide how many sections you need for your poster
(Introduction, Methods, Results, References, etc.), use the
“copy” and “paste” commands to create as many copies of the
blue section headers as needed.
You can now start adding your text.
To add text use the text tool to draw a text box starting from the
left edge of a column to the right edge and start typing in your
text. You can also paste the text you may have already copied
from another source.
6. Importing Photographs
When the only source of a needed photo or graphic is the Web,
scaling has to be applied with caution. Scaling an image more
than three times its original size may introduce pixelization
artifacts. Refer to figure 1 as an example. A simple way to
preview the printing quality of an image is to zoom in at 100%
or 200%, depending on the final size of the poster. What you’ll
see is likely what you’ll get at printing time.
7. Labeling your Headers
The blue headers are used to identify and separate the main
topics of your presentation. Find more information about the
expected documentation in the SimplyScience description for
Task 2.
8. Importing Tables & Graphs
To import charts and graphs from Excel, Word or other
applications, copy your chart and come back to PowerPoint.
Paste the chart on the poster. You can scale your charts and
tables proportionally by holding down the Shift key and
dragging in or out one of the corners.

3. Text Sizes
You can use any font you like but please make sure that it is
easily readable (e.g. Arial, Calibri). Use font size 24 for the text
in the columns.
To insert an image to your poster go to
INSERT>PICTURE>FROM FILE.
Be sure the photo is of sufficient resolution for quality printing,
but not so large as to create a PDF file that is > 6 MB.

4. Changing the Poster’s Column Layout
Posters are meant to be conversation starters and reference
sources. Images, graphs, and short bulleted lists will garner
attention and direct discussion. Less is more when it comes
to posters!
• Maximum size of A0 (84.1cm x 118.9cm)
• Single PDF document
• Provide full identifying information - title and authors - in the
body of the email message to which file is attached.
• Minimize use of color
• File size should be less than 6 MB
(reducing image sizes before adding to poster can help with
this).
