Poster Recommendations
- Keep text to a minimum, seek simplicity and avoid redundancies. Remember, you are not writing an article.
- Organize your content with columns, sections, headings and blocks of text.
- Choose a title that illustrates what your poster is about and be sure that the title is at least twice the size of your regular text.
- Choose colors carefully and pay attention to contrast. If in doubt, dark print on light background is best.
- The figures and tables should ideally cover approximately 50% of the poster area and be strategically incorporated onto the poster (include title and figure legends for your figures and tables).
- Avoid fuzzy images; make sure all graphics are high-resolution and easily visible.
Structure your poster by Introduction, Methods and Results. State your aims at the end of the Introduction. - Let your important points stand out.
- If possible, avoid abbreviations and acronyms, especially in the Conclusions.
- Feel free to provide one or more key references (in the right lower corner).
