TIPS FOR PREPARING POSTERS

The poster should be eye-catching, attractive and not cluttered with unnecessary information. It should communicate the key messages well. Colour and different type styles should be used judiciously in order not to detract from the content.

Content: The poster should have a logical sequence and be understandable by non-experts in the field, with any abbreviations initially explained.

Title: The title should be unambiguous

Text: The text should be laid out attractively, using a range of font sizes. Consider using bullet points as appropriate. Graphical representation is preferable to large amounts of text.

Figures and photographs: Should be of high quality. Figures and tables should have legends that give an adequate explanation
