Poster Presentation
1. People have to read it. Use big letters, suggested fonts are 36 or 48 for text and 72 or bigger for titles. As a rule people should be able to read your poster from 2 m away, and the title should be able to be read from at least 5 m away.
2. Don’t challenge people’s eyes. If you choose to use a background, use a light coloured background and dark letters for contrast. Avoid dark backgrounds with light letters - very tiring to read. 3. If you’re presenting your poster don't read the poster to the audience. Instead, give the big picture of what you did, explain why the subject is important, and use the graphics to illustrate and support your key points. Here are some ideas on what should be included on your scientific poster: 1) What’s the research question? 2) Why is this question important? 3) What are the results? 4) Why are these results unique/important? |
4. Set up is important- Balance the placement of text and graphics making it visually attractive. Use white space creatively to define the flow of information. Column format makes poster easier to read in a crowd. Your graphs should look professional and have labels. Determine how big your poster really needs to be, Check how much information you have, and then think about what size you should use.
5. Take time in your creation. This is a poster about something you have taking the time to study, take the time to present your information professionally. Proofread. Get feedback. If you take the time to make your poster interesting, people might just get interested.
