Creating a Poster Using Microsoft PowerPoint
Designing Poster Layout
- Translate information into a visual format. Where possible,
convey information using figures, tables, graphs, drawings, and/or photographs.
- Use a storyboard: Sketch your poster on a smaller sheet of paper, marking a space for all the elements you plan to use.
- Aim for the following balance: 20-40 percent text, at least 40 percent graphics, and less than 20 percent in white space.
- Your graphics should be self-explanatory; they should not need captions.
- Label data lines for graphs and charts within the graph or chart where possible.
- Follow a logical sequence of content, such as Introduction --> Methods --> Findings or Abstract --> Results --> Conclusions. Put Introduction in the poster's upper left section and Findings in the lower right.
