Policy on use of Graphics Arts facility in the FDC

1. The FDC Graphics facility is for the use of faculty engaged in teaching and research only.  As time and resources permit, other campus community members’ needs may be accommodated but only if the proposed work does not displace pending faculty needs.

2.  Faculty members are permitted one “free” poster (for display at conferences, on campus, or at other research symposia) per academic year.  Subsequent posters may be created, as scheduling of the graphics arts facility permits, for a fee of $5.00 per square foot.  There will be a “rush fee” of $10 per square foot if the poster request comes within 48 hours of the requested delivery deadline.

3.  Posters displaying student-faculty collaboration are permitted under the conditions stated in number 2 above.  Under no circumstances are student posters permitted when there is no clear evidence of student-faculty collaboration.  Under no circumstances will posters be produced for students as part of a classroom assignment.

4a. Poster materials can be submitted in MS Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Adobe Illustrator.  Please contact Kelly Donovan (kdonovan@fullerton.edu or x7143) with any questions.  

4b.  If you are submitting a finished poster in PowerPoint, please format according to the instructions below:

Make one dimension of the the poster 36 inches (example, 36x48).  The printer will not print to the edge of the paper, so make sure to keep all text and graphics about inch away from the edge of the page.  When selecting colors, it works best to use light colors for the background because of streaking and bleed through problems with the printer.  For a colored background please use a solid color.  The printer will not print gradations of color or patterns out of PowerPoint
