Color
This template was designed to produce a 42”x46”
poster.
You can modify it as needed for your
presentation.
These guidelines aim to create
professional, easy to read posters while saving you
valuable time. The NNRC is available to assist with any
part of the poster design process. Please notify the
NNRC of your poster printing deadline as soon as you
are aware of it.
To import elements for Excel or Word, highlight the
object and copy and paste on to the poster. Check that
the chart or table can be edited in PowerPoint and was
not inserted as a picture. You may need to resize the
text after pasting– as with the rest of the poster, font
size of 30 or larger is strongly recommended.
If you would like to personalize your poster further, the
UNMC Brandwise website provides a recommended
color palette:
To use this template, you will need to delete or write
over most of the content on this slide. Headers can be
renamed and boxes can be added, resized, or deleted
to fit your needs.
Font
Your choice of font style and size are vitally important to
the success and legibility of your poster. For this
template, we have used the Arial font family at several
recommended text sizes:
Main title: 80 or larger
Headers: 50 or larger
Body text: 30 or larger

Pictures
Using photos is a great way to add visual interest to
your poster; however, only high resolution images will
scale up properly. Avoid scanned images or low quality
downloads from the internet. Low resolution images will
appear pixelated when printed at large scale. Use the
sliding scale in the lower right corner of your window to
zoom to 100%--this shows the approximate print quality
of your image:

the Eyedropper tool from the
font color drop-down menu.
Use the eyedropper to select a
color from the image above.
The color you ‘captured’ with
the eyedropper tool will be
added to your Recent Colors.
Printing
Printing a proof of your poster on regular 8.5”x11” paper
is a good way to see if your text is too small. It should be
legible at that size.
To ensure the highest resolution of your images, do not
copy/paste them on to the poster. Instead, use the
Insert>Pictures option from the toolbar at the top of your
window to insert the picture file:
Please check if there are any conference specifications
on poster size. The NNRC standard size is 42”x46”.
Please send your poster to the NNRC at least one week
before you need the final product. This allows time to
optimize formatting for our printer and to address any
issues.
Shipping via USPS or FedEx can be arranged. Please
leave enough time for transit. Shipping charges are
your responsibility and you will need to provide a Cost
Center # to the NNRC.
