** [http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/~chris.tyler/cdot-presentation-20091/cdot-poster-template-20091.odp Impress (ODP) format]
** [http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/~chris.tyler/cdot-presentation-20091/cdot-poster-template-20091.ppt PowerPoint (PPT) format]
* '''Your poster is meant to be viewed, not read like a printed sheet'''. Design it to be read from a distance of 2 m, to capture the reader's attention, and to convey a basic understanding of your project in 90 seconds or less. Remember that while you may use the poster to explain your project, it will also be viewed when you are not standing in front of it, and it must be self-explaining.
* The page size is 35"x48" with a 1" unprintable area around the outside edge
* Design your poster to be read from a distance of 2 metres.
** 96 point '''bold''' text for the poster title.
** 96 point ''italic'' text for the post author name(s).
* '''Incorporate at least two diagrams, screenshots, photos, or drawings'''. These should be bold, colourful, high-resolution, and not contain small print. Lines in diagrams should be a minimum of 1 mm thick, text should be equal to or greater than 18 point text. The width plus height of each diagram added together must be at least 40 cm / 16" (for most diagrams, the smallest dimension -- width or height -- should be at least 20 cm / 8").
* Include the following information on your poster:
** Leave the upper-right and upper-left corners free for logos
* Your posters must be submitted to your professor by '''2009-03-10''' in order to leave sufficient time for printing.
