21 Apr 📰 Guidelines & Frame for poster production
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 inquiry. Presentation should be kept simple and clear and a mixture of text and graphics is recommended.
Materials should be mounted or printed on colored poster paper, use matt finish rather than glossy paper.
Titles and Fonts
Titles and captions should be short and easy to read, in Arial font for preference. 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.
Text
Minimize narrative. Use large type in short, separated paragraphs. Numbered or bulleted lists are effective ways to convey a serious of points. Do not set entire paragraphs in uppercase or boldface type.
Illustrations
Figures should be designed to be viewed from a distance and should use clear, visible graphics and large type. Additional essential information should be provided below in a legend. Photographs should have good contrast, sharp focus and, if necessary, an indication of scale.
