You are just about finished. Check these tips before sending to your instructor or printer:
Check your work for spelling,
grammar
, and correct use of
APA references
and
citations
.
Make sure you have correctly
referenced
your images. This included copyright statements.
If you are working on a Mac laptop, save your poster as a PDF.
Check that all your text boxes are ALIGN + LEFT (Crtl + L).
Pay attention to the colours you use for headings and background colours.
Check that you only used 2-3 colours in your poster.
Make sure you make an A3 colour print
before
sending to the your instructor and then the printer.
For editing your poster, using the overhead in the Learning Lab (Rm G67A-A) might be helpful. (*see Library staff before using this room)
Use post-it notes to write any corrections on your A3 print as a final edit.
