E-Poster Presentation Guidelines
PowerPoint Format for Vertical Monitors
1. Slide Size (Portrait Orientation):
- The first step is to change the slide orientation from the default landscape to portrait. Go to the “Design” tab, then “Slide Size,” and choose “Custom Slide Size.”
- Common Dimensions: A standard full HD vertical monitor has a resolution of 1080 pixels (width) by 1920 pixels (height). You should set your PowerPoint dimensions to reflect this aspect ratio. A common approach is to use a width of 10 inches and a height of 19 inches.
- Proportional Scaling: Always ensure the height is greater than the width to maintain the portrait orientation. If the conference provides specific dimensions (e.g., 27″ x 48″), use those dimensions directly in the PowerPoint settings.
2. Font Size and Readability:
- Since the poster will be viewed from a distance, font legibility is crucial.
- Headings: Use a large, clear font size, such as 72-100 pointsfor the title.
- Headings: Use 48 points.
- Body Text: Use a minimum font size of 30-40 pointsto ensure the text is easily readable from 3 to 6 feet away.
- Sans-serif Fonts: Fonts like Arial, Helvetica, and Calibri are generally more readable on screens.
3. Export Format:
- Save and send the file as a .pptx. However, to prevent formatting issues and ensure compatibility with the display software, you can send it in alternative formats:
- PDF: Exporting as a PDF is a reliable option as it preserves fonts, images, and layout.
- High-Resolution Image (JPEG or PNG): Exporting the slide as a high-resolution image file is the most common and safest option.
- Recommended Resolution: Save the file with a resolution of at least 150-300 DPI (dots per inch)to ensure the image is sharp and clear on the digital screen. The final image dimensions should be 1080 x 1920 pixels or a proportional equivalent.
4. File Name Format:
- pptx (e.g., 45_Rahim.pptx or M10_Rahim.pptx).
5. Submission Deadline:
