Tips for Preparing Your Poster

• Plan ahead! Please do not wait until the last minute to print your poster. During busy times, the turnaround time may be longer. For the Celebration of Undergraduate Research, you need to submit your poster for printing by the printing deadline to be sure it's printed in time.
• Do not place any text, graphics, etc. within 1/2" of the margin.
• Avoid overlapping text boxes and pictures.
• Avoid excessive clutter.
• Saturated color can be used in small sections, but avoid using it as a background or in large sections
• Image quality is important. Low-resolution images will appear pixilated or blurry when printed on a large scale. For best results, scan images from books, use quality digital photos or speak with a reference librarian about high-quality image databases.
• If you are using this poster for an earlier presentation, please be sure to note that earlier deadline when you print your poster.
