I think people are just taking your comment as an insult to gay people because they are not very bright , don ' t sweat it tho i got what u meant <| sep |> Bortles for J . Mathews . 2 QB league , still have Dak Ryan Carr 2 nd RD for Ingram . Hasn ' t helped much but was desperate for RB and am pushing for a playoff run . <| sep |> Lived in CA for several years , never heard that . <| sep |> Smug harder . It ' s not enough . <| sep |> The pro software for this is InDesign . Illustrator is OK , but not great for blocks of text . Powerpoint is clunky but straightforward . If this is your first time use what you are familiar with it is better to focus on a good design than trying to do that while also learning new software . Save the new software learning for your next poster . As far as design goes , try to keep a simple colour theme . Use no more than two fonts one title font , one text font . On the whole sans serif are clearer for posters Arial , Helvetica etc rather than Times etc . Try to have text columns which allow no more than 11 words in a row more than that and it ' s difficult to scan down to the next line . In general , for an A 0 size poster you generally want two to three columns in portrait , and 4 to 6 columns in landscape . Obviously how you space things about can change that dramatically . Try to avoid too many boxes . Don ' t use lots of different colours . Keep high contrast between text and background don ' t use gradient backgrounds . Keep your reference section to a minimum noone is going around writing them down , so use a short format that uses the minimum amount of space . Finally , design the poster in such a way that you can stand by it and present it . Maximise the size and clarity of the figures . Keep the text to an absolute minimum to make a clear narrative .
