  • There are 3 sample formats to choose from.
  • Feel free to change the template or create your own.
  • The template is already sized for printing at 24" x 36"
  • Name your poster file using keywords from your project title followed by _INTL (ex: Cuba_INTL)

  • We will have the poster printed and mounted for you.

This is entirely up to you. Consider what elements are needed to best illustrate your project, work, or initiative.  Feel free to pick and choose what works best to tell your story.

  • Project Title (Insert on the top bar of the poster)
