Introduction
Illustrations and graphs
Images such as photographs, graphs, diagrams, logos,
etc, can easily be inserted into the poster if they are in a
compatible format. We recommend JPEG or TIFF.
The page size of this poster template is A0 (84x119cm),
and it is in “portrait” (vertical) format. This corresponds to
the poster boards available at CIM04 and is the
recommended poster size.
Heading of
illustration
We suggest setting captions in
Times or Times New Roman or
equivalent, italic, between 18 and
24 points.
Left aligned if it refers to a figure
on its left. Caption starts right at
the top edge of the picture
(graph or photo).
Your poster should begin with a brief introduction (placed
in the top left corner of the poster) and end (in the
opposite corner) with a closing statement.
Please use the same headings that you used in your
revised abstract. This will help conference participants,
who will already be familiar with this format, to understand
your material more quickly.
Aims
To insert scanned images into your poster, go through the
menus as follows: Insert / Picture / From File… then find
the file on your computer, select it, and press OK.
Be aware that images require a relatively large amount of
memory. The average color photo (13 x 18cm at 180dpi)
would be about 3Mb (1Mb for B/W greyscale).
Images should of course be original and not copied from
books, articles or the internet.
Feel free to add additional subheadings. In this document,
headings are 40-point and subheadings are 32-point.
Headings are centered and subheadings are left-justified.
To replace this text by your own, highlight it with the
mouse and type in your own text, or copy and paste your
text from another document.
Illustrations
Graphs
Heading of
illustration
Simple graphs can be created in MS Excel or PowerPoint.
For more complex graphs you may need a more
dedicated graphics program.
We suggest setting captions in
Times or Times New Roman
or equivalent, italic, between
18 and 24 points. Right
aligned if it refers to a figure
on its right. Caption starts
right at the top edge of the
picture (graph or photo).
Use only a program in which it is possible to save the
graph as a JPEG or TIFF image. Insert the graph into the
poster just as you would do any other illustration.
This model poster is intended to give you an idea of what
your poster might look like, and to get you started.
Printing
Once you have completed your poster, save it to diskette
and take it to your university printer or to a printing shop,
or send it to them by email.
Of course you will want to change things around to suit
your material. You will almost certainly want to change the
number of sections and figures and to enlarge or reduce
the space devoted to each elements.
This is easy to do! Just grab one of the “handles” on the
edge of this section and move it around a bit. You will
soon get the hang of it! If you make a mistake, use
control-Z to go back to where you were before the
mistake.
Method
Here are some tips for creating a successful poster.
 Simplify everything! Avoid data overkill.
Some suggestions:
Ask first for an A3 size draft print for proof reading.
Fonts and colors
The main text of your poster should be between 24 and
32 points. Appropriately elegant and readable fonts
include Arial, Helvetica and Verdana.
The color of the text, title and poster background can
easily be changed. For example, select Format from the
menu along the top, then select Text, then Color.
Find out the cost of laminating your poster before
ordering it, because it can be quite expensive.
Don’t make your first visit to the printer the day before
your flight. Call them at least a month in advance and ask
their advice on how to proceed.
Please change some of the formatting of this model to
your personal taste. Otherwise, you may find that your
poster looks very similar to someone else’s!
 Leave breathing space around you text. Don’t
overcrowd things.
 Use easily readable font sizes and styles. Don’t
Capitalize Headings. Use bold and italic characters
instead of underlining.
Conclusion (or Implications)
We suggest beginning this section with a simple, direct
statement of the message that you would like people to
take home with them. Be sure that it follows directly from
the materials and evidence you have presented. Add
some other important final points. That’s it!
 Prefer illustrations over text wherever possible. Try
using photographs or coloured graphs. Avoid long
numerical tables.
 Spell-check your work and get someone else to proofread it.
