Blink just made it easier to manage multiple cameras, how to make beautiful qr codes using ai, quick links, define the poster dimensions, design your poster.

Microsoft PowerPoint isn't just for presentations---it also provides all of the creative tools you need to design a beautiful poster. Just set the dimensions, design the poster, and print it out. Here's how to make a poster using PowerPoint.

Posters come in all sizes, but the first thing you need to know is PowerPoint's slide limit is 56-inches x 56-inches, so you'll need to plan accordingly. It's also important to note that you want to set your poster dimensions before you start designing your poster. Otherwise, you might end up having to rework parts of your design due to the size change.

Here are some of the standard poster sizes to get you started:

  • Small poster: 11" x 17"
  • Medium poster: 18" x 24"
  • Large posters: 24" x 36" or 27" x 39"

Once you've decided on your poster size, set the dimensions in PowerPoint. To do this, open PowerPoint and navigate to the "Design" tab.

Design tab in PowerPoint

In the "Customize" group, select "Slide Size."

Slide size in customize group

Select "Custom Slide Size" from the dropdown menu.

Custom slide size

The "Slide Size" window will appear. Input the width and height specifications to match your required size. Keep in mind that if your height is larger in size than your width, the orientation of the slide will automatically change to "Portrait."

When you're finished, select "OK."

Input width and height of the poster size

Once selected, a new window will appear giving you two scaling options: Maximize or Ensure Fit. If your slide already has content on it, you'll want to select "Ensure Fit."

Ensure fit

Your slide will now be resized.

Your poster design is going to depend completely on you. You'll want to pay attention to the background of the poster, text and image arrangement, font size and style, etc. Essentially, you should treat this part exactly as if you were just creating another slide for a presentation.

Because the design and process of this step is going to differ for everyone, we'd like to offer some of our previous guides to get you started in the design process:

  • Insert a picture or other object.
  • Use an image as a background.
  • Insert an image inside text.
  • Get a picture behind text.
  • Make a border or frame.

Once your design is ready, all that's left to do is print it out and hang it up!

It may sound strange, but designing posters in PowerPoint is quite common and very easy. Especially when you’re working on a rushed college assignment or when you have to use a colleague’s computer to design a poster, PowerPoint can actually be a lifesaver.

The PowerPoint poster templates on our list, and our helpful poster design tips, will make that process even simpler.

5 Tips for Designing a Poster In PowerPoint

If you’re challenged with designing a poster without having to use image-editing software, you can use PowerPoint to take-on the challenge. Start by following these simple tips.

1. Use Vertical PowerPoint Templates

While you can easily create your own design from scratch using PowerPoint tools, it’s much easier to design a PowerPoint poster layout if you have a great template to work with.

Visage Print Template

So consider getting a great PowerPoint template before you get started. In fact, look for a PowerPoint template with a vertical design. This will make the entire process of rearranging content blocks and formatting much easier for you.

2. Take Advantage of Master Layouts

When using high-quality PowerPoint templates, you’ll also find master slide layouts that are included with the template. These layouts allow you to easily create new slides using pre-designed content layouts. Use these master layouts to experiment with different content designs for your poster.

3. Use Custom Fonts for Better Impact

Halogue - Creative Powerpoint Presentation

Fonts play a key role in poster design. It’s the main element of a poster design that attracts attention. So pick a great poster font and customize the titles to make your poster look more professional.

4. Choose Colors Carefully

Solar System Education Presentation

PowerPoint is designed to work as a slideshow presentation software. So the colors, backgrounds, and gradients you use in your poster design may not convert as accurately when you print out the poster.

Consider using print-friendly colors in your poster design and also do a test print to see if your finalized poster comes out looking as well as it looks on the computer.

5. Know Your Limits

Keep in mind that PowerPoint is not an image editing software. Don’t expect it to function just like Photoshop. PowerPoint has very limited features when it comes to designing posters. Use it to design simple and quick posters. But try not to use it for professional and business designs.

Do you need to make a poster for school or an event? PowerPoint can be a great tool to create a poster to accompany your project or advertise something. PowerPoint can create posters that are up to 56" by 56", and it's a convenient software choice if you already own Microsoft Office and don't want to learn Photoshop or InDesign. In this article, we'll teach you how to make a poster in PowerPoint easily and quickly.

Things You Should Know

  • Make sure your images are high quality so they print clearly on the poster.
  • Consider how your poster will look when printed, and make your text and images large enough to see.
  • If you want to print a poster bigger than 11x17, you'll likely have to get the poster printed at a print shop.

Step 1 Collect your materials.

  • Make your own graphs or charts using PowerPoint . These assets can be resized while you're in the program so they print clearly on the poster.
  • Collect images that are at least 150 dpi. You can check the DPI (dots per inch) of your image various ways , such as in the File Explorer or Paint.

Step 2 Open a new PowerPoint document.

  • If you're planning to print at home, keep your poster size to 11"x17" or less. If your printer can print larger-format documents, size your poster accordingly. Otherwise, you'll need to get your poster printed at a print shop.

Step 5 Design your poster.

  • Draw out your design before you make it. If you have an idea for your poster's design, sketch it out so you have an idea of where to start once you open up PowerPoint.
  • Insert images directly into PowerPoint. Don't use copy and paste , as this may not import the highest-quality image.
  • Make sure your text is big enough to read. Depending on your poster size, start with a headline font that is 100pt and a body font between 24 and 48pt. Make sure to select fonts that are easy to read, such as serif or sans-serif fonts.
  • Remember contrast . Don't put dark text on a dark image or light text on a light image. If you selected a background with many different colors, consider adding a solid-colored box behind your text to make it legible.
  • Arrange your content from top to bottom. Most people will read a poster from top to bottom, so put your initial or most important points near the top of the poster.

Step 6 Click File > Export.

  • Even if you're printing a small poster, you will have to go to a specialized print shop if you need your poster printed on a unique material like vinyl.
  • At-home printers can usually print up to 11"x17" size paper and can generally handle paper thickness up to a sturdy cardstock. Some common paper sizes for at-home printers include 8.5"x11" (letter), 8.5"x14" (legal), and 11"x17".
  • If you can't or don't want to go to a print shop, you can print large posters at home using the Rasterbator tool. Simply go to Rasterbator.net and follow the on-screen instructions to upload your poster file and split it into smaller pieces you can print at home. After printing, trim the margins from the papers and join them with tape or by gluing them to the poster board. While this won't create a professional-quality poster for a school or work project, it works when creating a rough draft or just making a poster for your wall at home.

Things to consider before beginning

What size is the poster.

PowerPoint places a limit on the dimensions of slides; if you plan on printing a poster that has dimensions larger than 56″ you will need to create it with another piece of software like  Photoshop  or InDesign.

How much does a poster cost?

Get an estimate using the  price calculator .

Where are the images coming from?

Images copied from the web are low resolution (72 dpi) and are not good quality for a printed poster. Minimum image resolution should be 150 dpi at actual printing size for best results.

What is the deadline?

Posters are printed Monday through Friday with a standard 24-hour turnaround time. Plan ahead to avoid high volume times for quicker turnaround.

Start with a template

Choose from a variety of styles and sizes. Download a template .

36%22%20wide%20x%2024%22%20tall%20crimson%20bar%20with%20white%20WSU%20logo%20template

Create a new poster

Open a new document in PowerPoint.

  • Go to Design –> Slide Size
  • Choose  Custom Slide Size
  • Set  Width  and  Height  (max. 56″)
  • Choose the  Landscape  (horizontal) or Portrait orientation.
  • Click  OK .
  • If a message pops up telling you that “ The current page size exceeds the printable area of the paper in the printer ” just click  OK .

Basic design tips

Academic posters are a summary of what you did, how you did it, and what you learned. Most are divided into four parts:

  • Introduction (what you did)
  • Design or methods (how you did it)
  • Conclusion (what you learned)

Space is limited. Choose your words and graphics carefully.

Don’t forget to SPELL CHECK your poster before submitting for print!

Design your file at full size (100%). If your poster is 36″ wide x 24″ tall then set your slide dimensions to 36″ x 24″.

Present information the way you would normally read —left to right, top to bottom.

Use columns and line breaks to divide the poster into smaller sections. Use bullets instead of long paragraphs to summarize information.

Maintain a good contrast between the background color and the text. Consider using a light color background and a dark text. A gradient color fill background, especially black, will print poorly and is not recommended.

Someone standing 3–4 feet away should be able to read everything on your poster. Here are some suggested fonts and sizes:

Sans serif:  Lucida Sans, Lucida Grande ; Serif:   Palatino, Book Antiqua

  • Title: 72 point
  • Headings/section titles: 40 point
  • Body text: 24 point
  • Captions: 18 point

Limit yourself to 2–3 types of fonts in order to create consistency and unity.

A picture is worth 1,000 words. Poster content should be 60% images, 40% text . Use graphs, charts, tables, and photos to summarize and present data.

High resolution images ( 150 dpi or higher ) are required for printing high quality posters.

Color mode for best results is CMYK .

Insert images directly into PowerPoint . Don’t cut and paste, or copy and paste.

Copy and paste Excel charts and graphs into PowerPoint.

To adjust an image and retain proper proportion, hold the shift key on your keyboard, click, and drag the corners to scale . Enlarging images in PowerPoint is not recommended.

Saving to PDF

CougPrints Plus requires a PDF file set to your custom page size . To save a PowerPoint poster to PDF, follow the steps outlined in Saving PowerPoint Presentations as PDF Files .

Printing your poster

Order your poster online from CougPrints Plus by filling in the submission form and uploading your PDF file. Pick up and pay for posters at CougPrints Plus in the CUB.

How to Make a Poster in PowerPoint: Step-by-Step Guide

Written by: Danesh Ramuthi Apr 17, 2024

how to make a poster in powerpoint: step-by-step guide

Did you know the first modern poster appeared in the mid-15th century? Since then, posters have captured people’s attention and left lasting impressions.

Fortunately, creating posters today is easy with digital tools like PowerPoint. You can experiment endlessly and make mistakes to your heart’s content — PowerPoint even offers poster templates!

However, PowerPoint’s downside is that it lacks options that poster creation tools like Venngage offer (customizable templates and an extensive library of icons and images to add visual appeal).

In this article, I’ll teach you how to make a poster in PowerPoint (alternatively, check out our  Free Online Poster Maker  and  customizable poster templates ).

How to create a new poster in PowerPoint

Setting up the slide, how to make a poster in venngage.

Here’s a brief overview of how to create a poster in PowerPoint.

Step 1: Create a blank slide Step 2: Select design –> slide size Step 3: Select the poster dimensions Step 4: Set width and height Step 5: Choose poster orientation Step 6: Add text, visuals, and design your poster Step 7: Finalize your poster Step 8: Save and print

Before starting work on your poster, remember that all effective posters have the following in common.

  • Are easy to understand
  • An appealing layout and typography
  • A clear and concise message

Start with a blank slide

When you open PowerPoint, you’ll see template options like a minimalist presentation or architecture pitch deck.

Instead of these, select Blank Presentation to get a clean slate to work with.

a new powerpoint slide

Choose a poster template

Poster templates help save time and increase productivity. You do not need to do any design or layout work; you only have to think about the content.

To find poster templates in PowerPoint, click on the Design tab at the top of the screen.

A new powerpoint slide

You should see template options in the Themes bar.

For more options, select the Designer option at the top right. Here, you’ll find colorful templates that are the perfect poster options.

Powerpoint slide deisgn options

For example, this template is a great option to use as a visually appealing poster.

powerpoint poster template

Remember that PowerPoint templates are for slide decks and presentations.

If you want to create traditional posters, I recommend using Venngage’s poster make r instead. Our drag-and-drop interface makes creating professional posters easy and doesn’t require you to have design skills to use it.

You’ll also find poster templates on Venngage, including event posters , sales posters , movie posters , infographic posters , and more.

Choose the right slide size and orientation

If you’re determined to make a poster in PowerPoint, you’ll need to adjust the size and orientation of the PowerPoint slide so it looks more like a typical poster.

To do this, click the Design tab at the top and select the Slide Size dropdown option.

selecting the right size for powerpoint slide

Then, click on Page Setup.

Page setup in powerpoint

In Page Setup, select the Custom option slide size and enter these measurements.

  • Width: 59.4cm
  • Height: 84.1cm  

You’ll notice my design doesn’t fit the scaled size. One workaround is to stretch the design (it might look a bit off, but overall, it is still decent).

Now, our poster is beginning to take shape.

Powerpoint slide purple

Select a background

When choosing a poster background, choose clean and subtle colors and designs so that the primary message pops.

This also prevents clutter, which can be an eyesore and distract from what’s important.

To change your poster’s background, click on Format Background. You should see options for adding solid fills, gradient fills, or photos.

You can also add textures under Pattern Fill and watermarks to add a unique touch to your poster.

Since this template seems too colorful to be used for a poster about Women’s Day, I changed the background to a pinkish-purplish hue.  

Pink and green powerpoint slide

Design your poster

When designing your poster, keep the following things in mind.

  • Ensure visual hierarchy: Arrange elements to guide the viewer’s eye across the poster. The most important information should be prominent.
  • Focus on white space: Give elements in your poster room to breathe. Less is more since we want the poster to convey a message rather than be an art piece at a museum.

In my poster example representing Women’s Day, I added icons by selecting Insert and then Icons.

Insert icons in powerpoint slide

The symbols I chose hint at what will happen at the event: beauty and makeup booths and drinks.

Powerpoint slife with mirror and glass icons

Add a title and headings

Besides visual appeal, your poster’s title is critical to grabbing people’s attention, so write something catchy that draws viewers in.

Here’s another pro tip. Use large, easy-to-read fonts that are easy to see.

To add a title to your poster in PowerPoint, insert a Text Box by going to Insert and then Text Box. You can customize the text for size, color, and boldness from the Home tab.

Powerpoint slide for Women's day event

Add your text and content

After the title, it’s time to add supporting text to convey your message.

I recommend using only bullet points and short paragraphs for better readability in posters.

Also, ensure everything is organized and aligned. Adding content using text boxes each time is a great way to keep everything neat.

Insert text box in powerpoint slide

For my Women’s Day event poster, I added details about the event in bullet format.

To add bullets in a Text Box, go to the Home tab and select the arrow next to the Bullet button.

Insert bullet points in power point slide

Add your visuals and graphics

Posters that are all text are very dull, so you’ll need visuals, which can be anything from high-quality images to charts and diagrams.

Visuals in posters provide dual benefits: they make information accessible and can evoke emotional responses in viewers.

To add visuals to a PowerPoint poster, click the Insert tab and choose Pictures. PowerPoint lets you upload your photos or browse the web for stock images.

Adding details to poster on powerpoint slide

I added balloons and wine glasses to make this poster more fun and happening.

balloons added on powerpoint slide

The great thing about visuals in PowerPoint is the potential for customization.

For example, I changed the thickness at the ends of the balloon image to make the colors stand out more.

The drag-and-drop interface also makes aligning your visuals with other elements easy.

Use shapes and SmartArt to add diagrams

Incorporating shapes into your poster is a great way to create visual sections and segregate information. You can also use them as callouts to draw attention to important details.

To add shapes to your poster, go to the Insert tab, click Shapes and choose the one that fits your needs.

Alternatively, you can use PowerPoint’s SmartArt feature to add diagrams, such as flowcharts, to your poster.

To add a diagram to your poster, go to the Insert tab, click SmartArt, and browse the options.

Add the final touches

Once finished designing your poster, spend a few minutes to ensure everything looks in place and apply the final touches.

For example, two elements may not align, or some text may be too small.

Proofread your poster

Before sending your poster to print, double-check it for typos and grammatical errors.

One great way to do this is to copy and paste the text into a tool like Grammarly, which can spell-check for you. Also, getting a third person to review your poster for errors and/or clarity is a good idea.

Print your poster

Once finished with your poster, you can print it from PowerPoint. Just go to the File tab and select Print.

In the pop-up window, select your printer, adjust settings such as paper size, quality, and orientation, and choose the scale-to-fit option.

Before hitting Print, preview your poster one final time, then click Print.

Free PowerPoint ® research poster templates in various sizes & styles.

If you don't see the specific dimensions you want, use a template that is the same proportion and we will correctly scale it at the time of printing. because powerpoint does not allow dimensions greater than 56", we use scaled templates for the larger poster sizes. our 42x90 templates are actually sized at 21x45 which we then print at 200%. tip: before selecting a template, bear in mind that most poster session boards have a one-inch metal frame. reducing the poster by a few inches allows it to mount flat on the board without the edges curling. if you are allowed a 48" x 48" space, we recommend using a 44" x 44" template. similarly, for a 48" x 96" board, we recommend no larger than a 42" x 90" template.    click here to see a comparison of how they fit on a board..

How to Make a Poster In PowerPoint Quickly With PPT Templates +Video

Andrew Childress

You've probably opened PowerPoint to build presentations many times. But, did you ever consider that it can be used for so much more? 

When you need to create a printed, finished design like a poster, PowerPoint might not be the first app you think to use.

PowerPoint Poster

It's a mistake to think that PowerPoint is simply a tool for making presentations. You can use it as a simple drag-and-drop tool to design all types of printed products, including posters.

In this tutorial, I'll teach you how to make a poster in PowerPoint using design components from Envato Elements and GraphicRiver . You'll see the best PowerPoint poster design tips and tricks to ensure that you create a poster that stops your audience in their tracks to hear what you've got to say.

How to Make Great Posters With PowerPoint PPT Templates (Video)

Are you ready to make a poster in PowerPoint? Watch this quick video to find out what you need to know to get started on your next great PowerPoint poster:

Or, study the complete written tutorial below for more information on how to make a poster in PowerPoint

How to Make a Poster in PowerPoint

There are many types of posters that you can create. You might be promoting a film, showing your academic findings, or advertising an upcoming event. The critical part is understanding that you can create all of these printed designs in PowerPoint.

In this section, we'll cover the most essential tips to make sure that your PowerPoint poster is a success. You'll see that you can use PowerPoint to create a poster that works perfectly as a printed product.

1. Set the Dimensions (PowerPoint Poster Size)

When you're learning how to make a poster in PowerPoint, it's crucial that you set the dimensions correctly from the beginning. If you don't set the dimensions correctly, you might have to re-arrange all of the objects or cut off content when you're ready to print.

Many posters, particularly in academics, follow typical sizes. When you're creating a poster in PowerPoint, make sure your template conforms to the event requirements. Academic poster templates in PowerPoint should follow those so that your poster doesn't stick out like a sore thumb (or are even disqualified!)

To set the dimensions for your PowerPoint poster presentation, go to the  Design > Slide Size > Custom Slide Size  menu option. Use the  Width  and  Height  boxes to key in your dimensions (in inches) for the finished poster.

How to Make a Poster in PowerPoint

Always check the specifics for your poster, but when you're creating a poster in PowerPoint from scratch, here are the most popular dimensions:

  • Academic poster templates . 36x48 inches 
  • Movie posters .   24x36 inches
  • Average sized poster .   18x24 inches

Choosing the right template size comes down to two simple questions:

  • Is there a requirement for the event at which you're presenting? If so, ensure that your PowerPoint poster size will comply with the standard format.
  • Have you checked with the printer? If you've already selected a print shop that'll print the finished product, ensure that their printers accommodate your size.

Also, consider using a PowerPoint poster template like one in the round-up below to use a starting point with all of the PowerPoint poster sizes already set. These sites have templates that you can use for practically any type of poster:

powerpoint presentation poster

Perhaps the most essential key to creating a poster in PowerPoint that prints properly is setting the dimensions. Make sure you know your format and set it accordingly before you start designing.

2. Add Your PowerPoint Poster Content

After you've selected some visual elements and infographics, it's time to start adding content to your PowerPoint poster design. Making poster presentations with PowerPoint should focus primarily on explaining your information in a way that engages the viewer.

Let's take a look at tips and tutorials to help you make posters that are sure to catch your audience's eye!

1. Become a Master of Typography

Let's face it: most posters are going to be dominated by text elements. The format of a poster is different than a presentation. While presentations should focus on having less text and should  support  the speaker, a poster can be a standalone display of its own. 

  • Use font sizing carefully and consistently . It's crucial that not every   text box on the poster is the same size. Use larger text for the header elements that deserve the most attention. Study a few of your favorite posters from the design niche that you're creating (academic, movie, scientific) and notice how poster font sizes vary depending on the emphasis.
  • Less text, more information . The best posters are information dense. Even though a poster features more text than a typical PowerPoint presentation, you should still try to avoid overly wordy text.
  • Keep text scannable . On academic poster templates, your viewer is likely scanning the display to see what's important. A bulleted list breaks up your content so that it's easier to read, for example. Consider re-writing any paragraph form text into a format that's easier to read. 
  • Consider custom fonts . Particularly for eye-catching posters like movie showcases, make sure and use fonts that your viewer may never have seen.

There are still important choices to make when you're building a PowerPoint poster. Use the tutorial below to become a master of text in PowerPoint:

powerpoint presentation poster

2. Use Images Effectively

Most posters will include imagery to break up text-heavy panels. When you balance text with images, it creates a natural rhythm on the slide and caters to the "visual learners" that may see your poster. 

Images are crucial for keeping a poster exciting. Consider the following tips for framing your pictures nicely on a slide:

  • Captions . Images are a must to include and are better when you add captions that narrate the image. Use text boxes below the image to explain them thoroughly.
  • Borders . Most posters have plenty of text, so you'll need a way to separate the images and make them stand out. Borders help you do just that.
  • Crop . Trim your images down to size and include only the details that add to your poster by cropping.

Use the guide below to learn how to make a poster in PowerPoint complete with the best imagery:

powerpoint presentation poster

3. Leave Room for Space

Make sure that you leave space at the edges of your poster design. Leaving margins on the edge will ensure that no content is cut off. Make sure that you leave at least a quarter of an inch between the sides of your PowerPoint design so that content isn't accidentally trimmed.

Margins are important, but they aren't the only type of space that matters. Using whitespace creates visual rhythm. That means leaving space between your content blocks so that it's easier to read than a jampacked design. You don't want to load the poster so heavily with text and visual elements so that a viewer is overwhelmed.

3. Use a PowerPoint Poster Template for Infographic Visuals 

PowerPoint takes time to use. You might find yourself drawing box after box onto the poster design, making space for all of the content that your poster needs. This process takes a ton of time and you may soon find yourself running out of time to actually prepare to present.

But what if you didn't have to design every part of your PowerPoint poster design from scratch? The alternative to creating everything from the beginning is to use templates with elements that you can mix and match to create your best poster ever.

A great example of this is using advanced PowerPoint templates to add  infographics.  If you want to explain a process or series of steps, an infographic is usually superior to just explaining it with a wall of text. An audience is naturally drawn to posters that have easy-to-follow information shown in infographics.

PowerPoint Poster template design element

Many academic PowerPoint poster templates describe a process. The text boxes will describe the steps taken by a researcher or academic to reach a conclusion. An infographic is a great way to show those steps instead of verbose explanations.

How to make a poster in PowerPoint

One of the best places to source infographics is from the PowerPoint template library on Envato Elements. For a single, flat-rate subscription, you'll unlock thousands of templates with objects that you can paste right into your final poster design. 

The flexibility of the all-you-can-download model means that you can choose templates and cut and paste the parts that you need—with no extra cost for each additional template.

Envato Elements options

If you need only a single template to build your presentation, also consider the pay-as-you-go marketplace, GraphicRiver. The PowerPoint templates are just as polished and impactful, but you'll pay only for the individual templates you choose.

Check out the tutorial below to see the best templates that include exciting infographics that work perfectly for PowerPoint posters:

powerpoint presentation poster

The educational world also features some of the best PowerPoint poster elements. Check out the round-up below to see more slides with perfect objects to add to your poster:

powerpoint presentation poster

4. Print the Finished Poster

Finally, it's time to finish your PowerPoint poster. All that's left is to render the finished presentation and take it to a print shop of choice that can bring your poster to life.

Not every print shop will have PowerPoint installed. That's why it helps to render the presentation out as a finished PDF file. Doing so will ensure compatibility when they print your PowerPoint presentation so that it appears the same as it did on your screen.

Check out the tutorial below to quickly learn how to save your presentation as a PDF:

powerpoint presentation poster

If you happen to have access to a large format printer, it also helps to know more about printing directly from PowerPoint. Use the tutorial below to master printing so that you use less ink and paper while printing your PowerPoint poster template:

The tips above are specific advice on how to create PowerPoint posters easily. Follow these steps and you're well on your way to creating a great poster that prints perfectly the first time.

But there's always more to learn when it comes to PowerPoint. The goal is always to spend less time thinking about how to use an app so that you can focus on the content. The more that you know about the app, the easier it'll be to put together your poster!

That's why we've created the resource  How to Use PowerPoint (Ultimate Tutorial Guide.)   This single, comprehensive collection of tutorials includes everything you need to master Microsoft's leading presentation app. Check out the three beginner tutorials below to start learning how to make a poster in PowerPoint:

SETTING UP YOUR POSTER FILE:

Create a PowerPoint Presentation Poster by creating a custom size in Page Setup.

  • Open Microsoft PowerPoint. Choose File>>View
  • Select New Blank Presentation Go to File>>New Blank Presentation
  • Select: Design In the Slide size for option, choose Custom Slide Size. Set the height, width, and orientation (landscape or portrait). Click OK.
Know your requirements: Is there a specific size required?  Do you know the poster size of your poster board?

4. Save your file: Choose File>>Save to save your presentation. Make sure you save the file in the same version of PowerPoint you used to create the file. DO NOT save in an earlier version.

WORKING WITH TEXT ELEMENTS:

5. Add text Select Insert >>Text Box. Drag to “draw” the text box where you want to place text. Begin typing and text will appear in the text box. The text box will expand as you type. You can also copy and paste text from an MSWord doc. 

“Text Box” is always used since text requires a container in PowerPoint. You need to create a separate Text Box for each separate piece of text that you want to manage/move independently.

100-point font is about an inch high. If you don’t see the size you want from the drop-down menu, type in the correct size. If your poster file will be scaled up when printed, the text will be too. Example: 50 point text will become 100 point if scaling to 200%.

• You can resize the text box/container at any time by moving your cursor over the corner or center handles (cursor changes to double headed arrow) and dragging. • You can move the entire box by moving your cursor over an edge until it turns into a four-way arrow. • Use the green dot to rotate the box

8. Inserting Images Select Insert>>Picture>> From File from the menu bar You can import most standard graphic formats such as: (jpeg, gif, tiff, bmp, etc.). Avoid “copy and paste” as a method for adding graphics—this often results in a low-resolution copy of the image. The best way is to insert the image.

WORKING WITH IMAGES: Plan ahead. When creating a graphic in your imaging software program, set the image resolution to 150 dpi. This will give you the best quality image.

9. Manipulating images: Once your image appears in your poster, you can adjust the size by moving the handles. The corner handles keep the same aspect ratio; the side handles do not. Select a picture, then go to Format Picture on the menu bar. You can crop, adjust brightness, etc.

CREATING A BACKGROUND FOR THE POSTER:

10. Make a solid color background: Select Design >>Background Styles. Click on the Background option within the drop down menu to choose from even more color choices. The best backgrounds are ones that provide the maximum contrast to the text placed on it. dark background = white text white background = black text

Image backgrounds can affect the readability of your text.

CREATING BOXES, LINES, ARROWS:

11. Adding lines, arrows, boxes, etc. Select Insert>>Shapes and choose the graphic element you would like to insert. Click and drag the arrow to place the element, double click to edit in the Format tab.

Tonix Pharmaceuticals Announces Two Poster Presentations of TNX-102 SL (Sublingual Cyclobenzaprine HCl) at the ASCP Annual Meeting

In the Phase 2 PREVAIL trial in fibromyalgia-type Long COVID, bedtime TNX-102 SL resulted in a signal in fatigue, sleep and cognitive function

Phase 2, investigator-initiated OASIS trial is designed to examine the safety and efficacy of TNX-102 SL in treating Acute Stress Disorder (ASD) after motor vehicle collision

First patient in OASIS expected to enroll in second quarter 2024

In the poster presentation titled, “ Effect of Bedtime Sublingual Cyclobenzaprine (TNX-102 SL) on Pain, Sleep, Fatigue, and Cognition in Fibromyalgia-Type Long COVID: Results of a Double-Blind Randomized Proof-of-Concept Phase 2 Study,” TNX-102 SL showed a robust effect size of 0.5 in improving fatigue and showed consistent activity across secondary measures of sleep quality, cognitive function, disability and Patient Global Impression of Change, but did not meet the primary endpoint of multi-site pain reduction at Week 14. Prior to the trial, Tonix had pre-specified that any effect size greater than 0.2 would be considered of interest for further study and, even given a substantial placebo response in pain magnitude measurements, key endpoints such as sleep quality diary (ES = 0.23), PROMIS Sleep Disturbance (ES = 0.32), PROMIS Fatigue (ES = 0.50), PROMIS Cognitive Function (ES = 0.21), the Insomnia Severity Index (ES = 0.24) and the Sheehan Disability Scale (ES = 0.26) all matched the criterion for further evaluation. TNX-102 SL was well tolerated with an adverse event profile comparable to prior studies and no new safety signals observed.

“These results further support the growing evidence that for most Long COVID patients, symptoms are at least partly driven by central nervous system mechanisms rather than persistent exposure to the SARS-CoV-2 virus,” said Seth Lederman, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Tonix Pharmaceuticals. “While Tonix is preparing for submission of a New Drug Application (NDA) for TNX-102 SL for the management of fibromyalgia (branded “Tonmya”), we believe that these results demonstrate it may also be effective in managing pain and aiding in sleep quality for patients with fibromyalgia-type Long COVID, further indicating that for many patients Long COVID should be viewed in the context of a chronic overlapping pain condition like fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis framework.”

In the poster presentation titled, “ Optimizing Acute Stress Reaction (ASR) Interventions with TNX-102 SL* (Sublingual Cyclobenzaprine HCl) – The OASIS Trial: Sustaining Civilian Performance Post-Trauma by Reduction of ASR and Prevention of ASD/PTSD,” TNX-102 SL will be evaluated for the reduction in severity of acute stress reaction (ASR) and the frequency of acute stress disorder (ASD) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in civilians after a motor vehicle collision. To reduce the persistence of ASR symptoms and the rate and severity of ASD and PTSD, it may be critical to intervene in the immediate aftermath of trauma. Currently, there are no medications available at or near the point of care to treat patients suffering from acute trauma and support long-term health. Previous trials of TNX-102 SL showed that it reduced military PTSD symptoms in as early as two weeks with favorable tolerability. The first participant for the OASIS trial is expected to enroll in the second quarter of 2024.

“Previous trials of TNX-102 SL in PTSD suggested activity on sleep and stress related symptoms in the first several weeks of treatment,”1,2 said Dr. Lederman. “The study is motivated by the observation that the symptoms of ASR and PTSD are similar and by the hypothesis that TNX-102 SL’s effect on sleep quality may reduce ASR symptoms, possibly providing military personnel, veterans, and civilians with a new treatment option that, when administered in the early aftermath of a traumatic event, improves recovery, job performance, and quality of life.”

TNX-102 SL is a centrally acting, non-opioid medication, and, under the trade name Tonmya™, Tonix remains on track to submit an NDA to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the second half of 2024 for the management of fibromyalgia. Tonix has scheduled a Type B pre-NDA meeting with FDA for the second quarter of 2024.

Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. *

Tonix is a fully-integrated biopharmaceutical company focused on developing, licensing and commercializing therapeutics to treat and prevent human disease and alleviate suffering. Tonix’s development portfolio is focused on central nervous system (CNS) disorders. Tonix’s priority is to submit a New Drug Application (NDA) to the FDA in the second half of 2024 for Tonmya1, a product candidate for which two statistically significant Phase 3 studies have been completed for the management of fibromyalgia. TNX-102 SL is also being developed to treat acute stress reaction as well as fibromyalgia-type Long COVID. Tonix’s CNS portfolio includes TNX-1300 (cocaine esterase), a biologic designed to treat cocaine intoxication that has Breakthrough Therapy designation. Tonix’s immunology development portfolio consists of biologics to address organ transplant rejection, autoimmunity and cancer, including TNX-1500, which is a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting CD40-ligand (CD40L or CD154) being developed for the prevention of allograft rejection and for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. Tonix also has product candidates in development in the areas of rare disease and infectious disease. Tonix Medicines, our commercial subsidiary, markets Zembrace® SymTouch® (sumatriptan injection) 3 mg and Tosymra® (sumatriptan nasal spray) 10 mg for the treatment of acute migraine with or without aura in adults.

*Tonix’s product development candidates are investigational new drugs or biologics and have not been approved for any indication.

1Tonmya™ is conditionally accepted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as the tradename for TNX-102 SL for the management of fibromyalgia. Tonmya has not been approved for any indication.
