Tips for Making an Effective Poster

 

    ACCESSIBILITY: Please use use color blind-friendly palettes and accessible fonts.

    TITLE: Prepare a heading at the top of your poster indicating the abstract title, authors, and affiliations. Make the title large enough to be read easily from a reasonable distance (~1.25m/4ft).

 

    TEXT: Your poster text should be easily readable and the design well organized. Use a type size that can be read easily at an arm's length. Text that is too small is the most common problem in poster design. Keep the text succinct.   

 

    METHODS: Details of methodology should be brief and placed at the end of the legend.

    GRAPHICS: Summarize current research with clear and self-explanatory graphics: charts, tables, micrographs, diagrams, etc. Simple use of color can add emphasis.

 

    CONCLUSION: A bulleted list of conclusions and questions raised is generally sufficient.

    REFERENCES: Some references should be provided, but they need not be as extensive as those in papers. A QR code may be used to add additional references if desired.
