IMPORTING

IMAGES/TABLES/GRAPHS

istead of using the “Insert” command)

 AVOID IMAGES DOWNLOADED FROM THE WEB

When the only source is the Web (most images 72 dpi) scaling

has to be applied with caution. Scaling more than 3 times its original

size may cause pixelation (A simple wa y to pre vi ew pri nti ng quality is

to zoom in at 100% 200% 400% What you see is likely what you’ll

get at printing.)

DESIGN

 Files should be set to RGB

the surface of the poster more

susceptible to scratching and

paper wrinkling

scheme, fonts and font sizes

throughout your doc ument

(recommend two fonts)

strong alignment with or without
