Instructions for poster
The Communications Department has compiled instructions and valuable tips on how to design your posts to attract visitors.
Each exhibition stand may have a maximum of two posters. Your two posters must be made in a layout program, for example Powerpoint. Choose the correct education programme and programme colour for both posters. The posters must be saved in a single document and sent in connection with your sign-up no later than May 14.

In each template, there are four pre-designed layouts you can use. To access the layouts, open your template and click "Layout" under the "Home" tab.

How to make your poster – step by step
- Download and save the correct Powerpoint template for your education programme and program colour.
- Choose from the four available layouts when designing your vertical posters. Note that you do not need to have the same message on both posters. Use the design tips. See below.
- Save both posters in the same PDF file. Name the PDF file your project name. Send it to colorcopy@hh.se
- Pick up your posters on May 30. The posters can be picked up at the Caretaker's Office in the Q building.
Design tips
Texts
- Keep the information short. You do not have many seconds to catch a visitor's attention. More detailed information can be provided on, for example, an A4 sheet.
- Use simple fonts such as Arial – it is usually perceived as easy to read.
- Your posters do not have to be identical. Feel free to convey different messages.
Pictures
- Customize the resolution of your images.
- Make a test print of the image in A4 format. If it looks good up close, the large print is usually acceptable because it is read from a much greater distance.
- Too low resolution produces a pixelated result, which makes the image look grainy. However, too high resolution results in very long print time.
Colours
- Use colours wisely.
- A colour on a large surface is perceived much more strongly than the same color on a small surface. Some color combinations, for example black text on a blue background, may look good on the computer screen but can become difficult to read when printed.
- Do a test print if you are unsure.
Format
- Your posters must be upright in the paper size 50x70 cm. Both should be saved in the same PDF file.
- The file size must not exceed 5 MB.
