Academic posters: Posters with a Power(ful) Point

This online workshop has been organised by York University and is open to all ESRC and non-ESRC funded PhD and MA Social Research students within the WRDTP’s seven partner universities. PGRs from all seven interdisciplinary Pathways are welcome to attend.

Informative posters are a popular way to share information and research work at conferences and exhibitions, but what’s the best application to use to create them? Word? Publisher? Surprisingly good results can be obtained using PowerPoint, because although intended for presentations, it shares many features with publishing applications. In this session we’ll explain and demonstrate what approach to use, how to configure PowerPoint and enhance the quality of your images and text.
