This file is formatted so that each slide is 42 W x 34 H when printed. The zoom slider below will allow you to inspect specific parts of a slide in greater detail. The following slides are examples of how to format a poster s appearance and organize its content. For other examples, see the weblinks provided at the end of the Poster Presentation Tips handout. The slides use the SUNY NP color palette (https://www.newpaltz.edu/ocm/style- guide/). You can easily change any of these colors ex, to the background, the text, the box borders. To change background colors, select Design tab and then Format Background. To change any text color or borders, click on them and then select Shape Format. You can also increase or decrease the number of columns. To add content, target a specific space on a slide and insert your saved picture file or new text (in shapes option). You can change the box sizes and locations easily. To align different boxes neatly, select the gridline & guide features under the View tab. They provide lines that will help you place elements neatly, but without showing on the printed version.

TITLE Author(s) (faculty mentor s name, department) (correspondence: X@newpaltz.edu) This project was supported by funding from _____. Summary Procedure Background Much wider and center column for the key findings. This is becoming a popular approach at poster sessions. Oh, and check out those nifty patterns for the headings! Conclusions Findings Project Goals Next Steps
TITLE Author(s) (faculty mentor s name, department) (correspondence: X@newpaltz.edu) This project was supported by funding from _____. Background Results Similar to the previous one, but even wider center space to provide your project s conclusion (take-home point) in very large font, alongside some eye- catching imagery. The idea is to grab people s attention, hit them with the big idea, and then talk with them about the particulars of the project if they re interested. That s why the background and methods etc. are relegated to the side, in smaller font than the center. It s a different approach to the conventional left-to-right story.
