Title Student Presenter and Faculty Sponsor
Department of X, Wabash College
Directions (delete this text box when
understood) (1) This single slide represents
the total area of your poster it measures 56
inches wide and 36 inches tall and will print
roughly 65 x 42. (2) Use the text box at the top
to insert your title, name, faculty mentor, and
academic department affiliation. Simply click on
the text boxes and type over the generic place
holder text. The template text boxes on the left
are for you to use for various sections of your
poster. Feel free to delete them if you dont
use them or add more text boxes, but remember
that your font size should be at least 22 points
or larger so that text can be easily read from
four or five feet away. Try to avoid long
paragraphs since most visitors will only be able
to devote a few minutes to your poster and you
will be there to explain it to them. The
background is currently blank, but you may choose
to set the background to something more
interesting if you wish, but do not use dark
backgrounds. (3) Activate the Ruler under the
View menu to allow you to estimate the actual
size of content you type or insert into this
slide once printed. For example, a picture that
appears to be only a few inches on this screen
may well be HUGE once printed. Use the ruler to
appreciate the true size of objects. Use the
Zoom under the View menu to edit text or work on
text/image alignments or spacing. (4) Do not
simply cut and paste images into this slide.
Pictures and figures should be INSERTED into this
file from other programs using the Insert menu,
then Picture From File. In order to keep
imported image file sizes down, scale your
original images to approximately 100 pixels per
inch of length/width to be printed on your
poster.  For example, if you want a square image
to be two inches by two inches once printed, you
will need to import an image that measures 200
pixels by 200 pixels.  While it is true that you
can resize images in PowerPoint, you don't change
the file size, which can cause printing problems
later on.  Programs such as Adobe Photoshop and
Paint Shop Pro are great for sizing your images
prior to importing them into this slide. 
Warning If you fail to correctly scale your
images prior to importing them into your poster,
you run the risk of generating a poster file that
will be 10-100  megabytes and may fail to print
on the large format printer.  Take the time to
prepare you images! (5) As you work, PLEASE save
your file multiple times. When you have
completed your poster, make certain to proofread
it for errors. (6) Final Save Do not simply
Save as a ppt file. When you are completely
finished, use the Package for CD under the File
menu. Choose the Copy to Folder option to save it
on the network, a thumb drive (memory stick), or
CD. This method of saving the file ensures that
all of the embedded images are actually saved
with the ppt file, instead of only links to the
images. Send the packaged folder to your faculty
sponsor for her/his approval. The file will be
printed on a poster printer in Hays Hall. By
Wednesday, Jan 24, you must have the packaged
folder saved to an accessible network location or
you can bring it to Hays Hall on a memory stick
or CD. You will be given a scheduled time for
you to print your file on that date. For
questions and support, please contact Media
Services Specialist, Jeana Rogers
(rogersj_at_wabash.edu, 361-6251). Thanks to Lon
Porter for writing these instructions, Scott
Feller for making the poster printer available,
and Jeana Rogers and the Media Center staff for
helping students create posters for the
Celebration of Student Research, Scholarship, and
Creative Work.
