Poster Template

Poster printing services provided by the College of Nursing are for CON students, faculty, and staff only.

The poster template available here, created as a PowerPoint document for easy editing, may be used by both faculty and students for presenting research findings. It has editable sections for the presentation name, the author name(s) as well as text blocks for the research description. Feel free to add or delete the text blocks in the white area as required, as well as adding photos or graphics.

Guidelines for poster printing

Format

Posters can be accepted only in PowerPoint format. Due to the impact of printer drivers, fonts and other features included in various other publication packages we can not accept poster submissions in any other format. The current PowerPoint template is available by clicking the above poster link.

Size

The standard poster size is 36”x48”.  We cannot print any other sizes.

Graphics

Graphics and images can add a great deal to your poster. Scanned images should be at least 150 dpi (dots per inch). Avoid using images from the web unless you know they are high resolution. While low resolution ones may look nice on your computer screen, they will likely be blurry when enlarged to poster size.

Printing your poster

Submitting your file

Posters should be submitted to https://go.osu.edu/poster-internal at least two weeks prior to pickup. If you are a student or represent a student organization, please make sure that you have met the requirements listed in the section titled “Costs and other considerations.”

Knowing when your poster is ready

You will receive an email notifying you that it is complete and ready for pickup. Please do not periodically "check in" as this will not speed the printing process.

Costs and other important considerations

CON students creating posters for organized class presentations will be provided one print free of charge. This is made possible by the CON Student Technology Fee. Reprints are not available, so it is strongly suggested to proofread before sending.

Students or student organizations in need of posters which are not related to an organized class project need a faculty or staff sponsor. The purpose of the sponsor is to help in determining if the poster is appropriate college-related material.

If you have any further questions, please contact CON-Posters@osu.edu.
