Poster Submission
Poster printing services are available to all Claremont students/faculty/staff throughout the year. If you're not a Keck Science affiliated faculty/staff/student, the fee is now $50. A samples page has been put up with plenty of sample posters. I made a downloadable template with the correct dimensions set up in powerpoint as a mockup of a poster. You can download it and use it as a guide. Right click on the link, and click save, on a mac, ctrl-click.

    List of typical problems and ways to avoid them:

    1. If you have a color fill for your text box, NO TRANSPARENT FILLS, instead, use a lighter color.
    2. SPSS graphs, DO NOT COPY AND PASTE. In SPSS Viewer, go to File, Export and export as JPEG.
    3. NO TIFF's inserted into powerpoint. (Logos are typically okay.)Convert to JPEG or GIF first!
    4. Power Point Background Textures, this one varies depending on which textures you use, try using a similarly colored solid background, or gradient filled background instead. See * below.
    5. Do NOT use: ArialUnicode-MS, or any other Arial variant. (Arial is okay)
    6. If you use special symbols or greek alphabets, they will convert to different font types, after you type it check agaist rule #5 by highlighting only that symbol/character and looking at the font drop box. When you use insert symbol, the dialog box will have a place to pick the font, make sure you don't pick ArialUnicode-MS.
    7. If you're using a mac, do not copy and paste directly into the power point from the browser/ or previewer.
    8. Photoshop PSD's. DO NOT COPY AND PASTE into your poster. Export as Jpegs then insert jpegs.
    9. Do NOT use "Late Sunset" with a horizontal fill effect for your TITLE text box. (small ones are okay.)
    10. Do NOT use "dotted lines" for borders of text boxes, use solid lines instead.
    11. Most Blue's darker than Cyan will show up as purple when printed. (don't use as backgrounds, see below)
    12. Aqua Greens have been coming out blue. (see color matching link below)
    13. NO 3D effects on pictures, most don't show up in print & it makes printing take about 5 times as long!
