Help!

I'm currently trying to make a poster describing my thesis (which is on mediaeval literature, more precisely on Mechthild of Magdeburg). And I'm finding this really tricky: I'm using Powerpoint, and I'm going to print it at A3, but I'm worried about it ending up overloaded with text.

Has anyone out there had to do this sort of thing, and do you have any tips?

ETA: Google Images does produce some strange links. I expected the esoteric stuff, but I can't imagine why "Das fließende Licht der Gottheit" produces a German page on imagery in Terry Prachett...

I've never done one myself, but I suspect that there are pages giving advice on how to produce a good one all over the internet. In fact there're quite a few just searching on the Oxford website.

Otherwise, A3 sounds very small to me - most science posters are A0 or A1. People have to be able to read the text from four feet away.

Thanks - I am kicking myself for not having thought of the Oxford website!

I've just googled that out of sheer curiosity. No sign of Terry Pratchett on my browser, but I did get one of Bruce Lee, which is possibly even odder.

Odd indeed! Google seems to produce slightly different results depending where you search from, but... Bruce Lee?!
