General
Information
A poster should be self-contained and self-explanatory,
allowing different viewers to proceed on their
own while the author is free to supplement or
discuss particular points raised in enquiry. Presentations
should be kept simple and clear with a mixture
of text and graphics is recommended. Remember
that the time spent at each poster is determined
by the viewer, not the author as in the case of
slide presentations. Materials may be mounted
on coloured poster paper or board. Use matt finish
rather than glossy paper. Arrange materials in
columns rather than rows. It is easier for viewers
to scan a poster by moving along it rather than
by zig-zagging back and forth in front of it.
An introduction should be placed at the upper
left hand and a conclusion at the lower right.
Illustrations
Figures should be designed to be viewed from a
distance and should use clear, visible graphics
and large type. Each figure or table should have
a heading of one or two lines. Additional essential
information should be provided below in a legend.
Photographs should have good contrast, sharp focus
and, if necessary, an indication of scale.
Text
Minimize narrative. Use large type in short, separated
paragraphs. Numbered or bulleted lists are effective
ways to convey a series of points. Do not set
entire paragraphs in uppercase (all capitals)
or boldface type.
Titles
and Fonts
Titles and captions should be short and easy to
read. Use large lettering as this means a number
of people can read the poster from a distance
without overcrowding. Remember to caption your
poster with the abstract title, authors names
and affiliations.Headings should be a minimum
of 50 point size. Whereas, 25 point size is good
for text
