Any advertisement or marketing initiative should have a basic plan. Before you begin your poster project you should make sure you know the following about what your are advertising:

• If you are advertising an event, your event should be reserved and planned through all appropriate channels (including showing as confirmed in your reservation) before submitting poster.
• Please have the official name of the event and the finalized start and end date
• Collect any relevant imagery you want to use in your poster, this could include logos or photos that represent your club
• Read through the image specifications for digital posters and make sure your image resources will work
• Develop a clear and concise message, your viewers won't have unlimited time to view your poster so you should plan your messaging around that.  A good rule of thumb is to think of your digital poster as a billboard you might see on the side of the freeway

• If you have access to design tools such as Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator you can begin to design your poster.
• It's a good idea to start with one of the provided templates or review the image specifications before starting your project.
• Keep in mind, all of the posters in the Anderson Student Center will be shown horizontally.
• If you are designing for print and digital, the digital poster size matches an 17 x 11 inch tabloid print layout.

After your poster is designed, you are ready to upload the image to the poster management application.  Follow the instructions listed here when uploading content for the first time.

Access to the system is available to the following:

• Undergraduate students registered as a member of a currently recognized student club or organization
• Faculty & Staff with an active UST ID

Note: If you are a student worker designing a poster on behalf of a department and not associated with a club, you will need to have your staff supervisor upload your finished design to the system.
