Designing Your Poster:

​

  • Many universities provide guidance and support to their students and faculty. Check with your institution. For reference, see the guidance from UNC-Chapel Hill's Graduate School Academic Presentations and Posters

  • We recommend the following resources and tools for designing your poster:

​

Poster Dimensions:

  • The preferred format for academic posters in the U.S. is a landscape design with a 4:3 ratio. This typically means a poster that is 48" x 36"

  • Another common format is a "widescreen digital landscape." This is a popular format for websites and PowerPoint presentations. It uses a 16:9 ratio. When formatted for printing, a poster using this format might measure 56" x 31.5"

  • Our presentation boards accommodate posters up to 72" x 48"

  • Posters may be printed on paper or fabric.

  • We will provide push pins - but it's a good idea to bring your own too.

​

NOTE: 

If you already have a poster printed in another format, we will do our best to accommodate you.
