All supplied content must be final. If your content needs to be checked by any contributors or supervisors, this must be done before handing it over for design. Minor content edits only (e.g. spelling mistakes) following the draft are acceptable.
Text
Text is best supplied as a Microsoft Word document. For an A0 poster, keep your total word count to around 800 (maximum 1,000 words). If you have more than 3 image components (this includes graphs, tables, flowcharts or descriptive images), your word count needs to be closer to 500.
Graphs
Graphs should be supplied in their original file type e.g. Excel or PowerPoint (with your data included). If using SPSS, please export and supply your graph as a PDF.
Images
Images should be supplied in their original format. (Do not supply them in a Word or PowerPoint document unless that is your only copy. If you have multiple versions of an image, provide the version that has the largest file size.
Note that images saved from the web are not suitable for large posters due to their reduced quality and copyright restriction.
Logos
CHS, ANU and ACT Health Directorate logos do not need to be supplied. Any additional logos will need to be supplied by you with approval gained from the department/organisation involved. Logos can usually be sourced from an organisation’s public affairs department. Do not save a logo from a website. Ask the organisation for an EPS copy of their logo, or the next highest quality version for print.
