Guidelines for the Preparation of Scientific Posters
Construction
- Make the poster fit a board length 1 000 mm and breadth 800 mm high.
- Posters can be made up on one large sheet or up to six smaller sheets (which can go in your suitcase!)
- Use thick paper (plastic coated is reasonable) or card.
- Divide the poster into sections (e.g. title, message, introduction, methods, results and conclusions). Make it clear in which order they should be read by numbering (1, 2, 3… or lettering A, B, C…).
- Titles should be 2.5cm high, text 1cm high.
- Photocopy enlargements should be avoided as they produce poor quality
- Use a sophisticated lettering system, photographic enlargements or a high quality computer output.
- Keep logos discrete.
- No references.
A simple graph (in colour), a table or a photograph will attract and aid understanding. Too many will confuse.
