Description
This article provides guidelines on creating your poster:
- Poster does not have any heavy solid color background, use plain instead. This wastes ink, causes drying issues and falls outside current scope of service offer. If a poster is submitted with a solid background, we will ask you to remove the background and resubmit it. Colored backgrounds on titles, logos may be acceptable.
- Use high resolution graphics when needed. Please avoid using small graphics downloaded from the web.
- File size should match output A0 dimensions. approx.. 36 inch X 46 inch.
- File format should be strictly Pdf, JPEG, MS PowerPoint, MS Publisher.
- Avoid spacing issues - use common fonts for best readability e.g Times New Roman or Arial.
- Avoid text-heavy representation for conference posters.
