Poster instructions

Preparation of the Posters

Posters will be mounted on poster boards measureing 42" x 48". We will be placing a 42" x 6" header in the top portion of the poster board, so posters should be no larger than 42" x 42".

The general suggestions for preparation of the posters are provided below:

1. Legibility: The poster should be readable from a distance of at least 6'. Suggested sizes include: minimum graph size 10", section heading letters 3/4", and text and figure lettering no less than 3/8".

2. Heading: Fermilab will provide a general heading label for each display area which will include the presenters name.

3. Titles: All Figures and tables should be titled. The sizes, format, and number of the posters (beyond the heading) are left up to the discretion of the presenter.

4. Dimensions: The size of the poster is left to the discretion of the presenter. However, when mounting, remember don't plan to mount anything lower than table height (30" above the floor).

Summary

Please note the following points when designing your poster:
- DO use large, easy-to-read letters.
- DO NOT paste-up typed pages from a paper.
- DO NOT clutter the poster with details.
- DO include clear figures and tables.
- Posters should be understandable - even in the absence of the author(s).
