POSTER

How do I design a poster?

Create your scientific poster in PowerPoint and give your ideas the space they deserve.

The files linked below provide you with a pre-prepared foundation with preset elements that you can customize individually – saving you some steps and giving you a solid base.

However, if you would like to design your poster from scratch, the following videos will guide you step-by-step through the entire process. The result is a poster that comes from your own design and clearly presents your research.

To focus entirely on the design, start with dummy text. This allows you to design your poster without being distracted by content. Only later do you insert your prepared texts and make small adjustments if necessary.

The first video shows you how to define format and fonts.

Always define fonts and font sizes before undertaking the next steps. This avoids having to adjust font sizes to the amount of content and ensures that your poster remains easy to read. The next video deals with the questions of color, design grid and dealing with image elements.
