Design Suggestions
- Allow ample time to prepare your poster. All poster materials (illustrations, charts, and text) need to be prepared in advance.
- All posters should feature a title, your name, the name of the institution where the research was performed, and should credit other contributors, as appropriate.
- Use a crisp, clean design.
- All lettering should be legible from about 5 feet away.
- Title lettering should be about 2" to 3".
- Subheading lettering should be 1/2" to 1" high.
- Text lettering should be approximately 24 points.
- Make illustrations simple and bold, with captions at least 3/8" high.
- Enlarge photos, tables, and charts to show pertinent details clearly.
- Do not tell the entire research history.
- Present only enough data to support your conclusions and show the originality of the work.
- The best posters show a succinct statement of major conclusions at the beginning, followed by supporting text and a brief summary at the end.
- Displayed materials should be self-explanatory, freeing you for discussion.
- Utilize other techniques to improve the graphic impact. Use color to add emphasis and clarity. Simplicity, ease of reading, etc., are more important than artistic flair.
- For ease of transport, use the roll-up laminated paper type of poster.
- You may want to bring handouts of your abstract or copies of your data and conclusions to share with interested viewers. Some authors also provide sign-up sheets to record names and addresses of attendees who might wish more information, reprints, etc.
