Set Size according to guidelines

• If your poster has to be a specific size, make sure to do this as your first step so all content pieces you add are scaled appropriately. If you resize at the outset, that will save you the trouble of having to reformat your content down the road. There are a number of programs in which you can design your poster, but PowerPoint and Google Slides tend to be two of the most popular. 

Size is typically 35" x 43" or 43" x 35"

Resize in PowerPoint

• Open a blank presentation and navigate to the Design tab. In the Slide Size dropdown menu, select Custom Slide Size, enter the appropriate dimensions, and click OK.

Resize in Google Slides

• Open a blank presentation. From the File menu, select Page Setup and then select Custom in the Page Setup dropdown menu. Enter the appropriate dimensions and click OK.
