DIMENSIONS

• IMPORTANT. Posters must be “portrait style” with dimensions no larger than 34” x 45” (width x height). Thumbtacks will be provided.

FORMAT

• Poster should be readable from a distance of 2 m.
• Title should be sentence case with lettering at least 2 cm high (72 pt).
• Authors and affiliations should be in upper- and lower-case lettering at least
  11 mm high (42 pt).
• Text lettering should be at least 5 mm high (18 pt) with a line thickness of at least 1 mm.

CONTENT

• Information should be well organized and concisely presented. 
• Keep written text to a minimum.  Bulleted short phrases are effective.  Colorful large graphs, flow charts, diagrams and photographs (half a dozen at most) are often effective.  Keep captions and legends short and informative.
• A person who knows nothing about your scholarship should be able to understand it easily from your poster.
• Communicate with the Student Tech Center ASAP to ensure a time for poster printing (www.wwu.edu/techcenter).
