Making Posters at Vassar Presentation (link requires VC gmail login)
You can use any software you like to create posters or fliers. The most common applications used are Adobe Illustrator and MS Powerpoint. The goal is to create a .pdf that can be shared with the printer. Adobe Illustrator is available in the library electronic classroom and the 24 hour space of the library (AKA DMZ).
Here are some ACS created tutorials for creating academic posters with Adobe Illustrator:
- Graphic Design Tutorial (12 minutes)
- Illustrator Tutorial (25 minutes)
- Exporting Tutorial (4 minutes)
Print jobs smaller 11″x17″ or smaller go to the Copy Center, and can be picked up at the post office counter in college center.
Print jobs larger than 11″x17″ go to Media Resources, which is in the basement of the College Center. Further details and to submit a print job please visit https://servicedesk.vassar.edu/catalog_items/307242-poster-request
