Flyers
Creating a flyer for an event or other promotion
First, do you need to create a flyer? Or is it an email that you need to create?
The flyers in this section are to be used for physical distribution, such as posting to a community board or passing out in a class. If you do not intend to physically print the document, it is likely you need a digital publication rather than a paper flyer. For example, if you plan to email your flyer to a listserv or include it in a newsletter, it is better to include that information within the body of the email rather than attaching a PDF flyer to an email. Please visit the digital materials page for email and other digital templates and tips.
If it is a physical flyer you need, create a free account in the design program Canva to access the flyers below.

Print flyers about CTSI programs and services for distribution at your event
You might need to print copies of CTSI flyers for an event or other physical distribution. Below you will find printer-friendly PDF files for CTSI Research Services and other programs. Again, these files are for print purposes. If you need to link to or email the information found in the flyers, please use the corresponding web pages instead, which will be easier for your users to access. For example the same information in the below Research Services PDF is here: https://www.ctsi.ufl.edu/research/
When printing, make sure you make the orientation “landscape”, print on both sides, and flip on short edge.
CTSI Service Center Flyer
This flyer contains a list services and resources provided by the CTSI Service Center to help investigators conduct translational research.
Academic poster
The templates below can be used to assist in poster creation. The posters are created in PowerPoint and are 60′ x 36′. They include the UF logo, CTSI logo and CTSI funding text in the footer. Detailed instructions within the poster template can help to maximize effective presentation of your research. The three versions below provide flexibility for the various types and sizes of charts, graphics and text you might want to include; for example, the three-column versions provide room in the center column for wider charts.
Template guidelines and tips
- You may find it easier to write out content in Word, then copy/paste into the poster according to the instructions.
- The columns are adjustable. You are not limited to the columns in the template.
- These templates use varying types of the Franklin Gothic font. While this font is recommended, the template allows you to change the font. Sans serif fonts such as Arial are best for posters.
- Do not make font size any smaller than 20 pt. Smaller font sizes are difficult to read. If you are having trouble fitting your content, focus on the following:
- What information is most essential to the reader?
- Can you use bulleted lists instead of paragraphs?
- Try to keep each section 200 words and under. You can find a helpful guide here.
- Avoid adding too many logos. If you need to add additional logos, try to find ones with a white background and use the PowerPoint guidelines to line them up. Keep logos in the header.
- If you need to change the poster size, go to “Design”, “Slide Size” and change dimensions. When prompted, select “Ensure Fit”.
Printing your poster
The CTSI has limited printing capability for CTSI-affiliated faculty, trainees and staff who need to print a few copies of flyers or posters. If you wish to print a poster, please email CTSI Data Management Analyst Brian Fischbach at least a week before you need the poster printed. We can print posters at widths of 36 inches or less from PDF files.
The following services are available to help print your poster:
