Please note we are now only printing posters submitted through our online system: submit a poster for printing here.
OURS will print posters free of charge in support of research projects for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as, faculty and staff on campus.
We have created a short, easy to use, worksheet for thinking through designing a poster, helpful to a first time poster presenter or someone creating their "hundreth" poster. View the worksheet as a pdf, or here for it as a powerpoint that you can modify for your needs. View the 4 minute overview of video advice.
A proper poster you can be proud of takes many hours to make and proof. Please see the tips below before starting your poster. For a more detailed listing see this linked to pdf file.
In order to have your poster printed the following criteria need to be met:
Look at all of your poster at 100% magnification, conference room monitors typically display posters at roughly printed size if you want to see the visual impact before finalizing for printing. If the pictures are blurry, they will print blurry and this is not the fault of OURS.
Remember this is a poster and not a paper or oral presentation and design must reflect this, avoid paragraphs and include graphics!
Please feel free to adapt the poster templates and logos below for your use. You are highly encouraged to change the vast majority of aspects of the templates, such as colors and fonts to make it your dynamic poster.
Note: It is vital that the logo be used as designed and not reset, reproportioned or modified in any way. Use only officially prepared logos. No other typefaces are permitted. The logo is only to be used for official university documents.
