Building Your Conference Presentation

WHAT WE REQUIRE FROM YOU -- Send us your word files, images, charts/graphs and instructions. Use the "upload your files" button in the menu on the left. Fill out the web form. In the "Notes" field include poster dimensions, vertical or horizontal orientation, gloss or matte finish preference, due date, contact number(s), delivery and billing information plus any special requirements. University of Michigan clients must also fill in the ShortCode field. The most common poster sizes are 6-ft by 3-ft and 4-ft by 3-ft. Other sizes are available.

SUCCESSFUL POSTERS are succinct. A viewer usually scans the poster title, glances at the graphics and reads the Conclusions before deciding to review the rest of the presentation. Use an image as the focal point and give the Conclusions impact to draw an audience.

DESIGN -- Unless requested we will build a "standard" format poster. Custom designs, sizes and shapes are available.

WHAT YOU GET FROM US -- We will contact you when your request is received. When your layout is complete a PDF proof will be emailed to the contact(s) you list on the form. Review the PDF and note any required modifications. Send us your changes. We'll make the edits and send you a final proof if necessary. When you give us final approval the design will be uploaded to a local service bureau for a full-sized print. They will deliver your poster directly to your office or ship it to the location you request. If that vendor is unable to deliver your job within the time parameters we will take over.

CHARGES -- If you're part of the University of Michigan we use local vendors that will charge your ShortCode at UM discount prices. Our charges will be billed separately. The total cost will be very competitive.
