for your peers. In your poster presentation you need to inform your peers how
your chosen service or program reflects a holistic view of Aboriginal and/or
Torres Strait Islander health, advances Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait
Islander health, aligns with community values and expectations and develops
community capacity. Include photos & graphs.

Poster Presentation Guidelines
• A poster is a visual presentation of information and
should be designed as such – do
not simply reproduce a written paper in poster format.
• It should be understandable to the reader without verbal
comment – someone might
look at it when you are not available.
• Remember, you are trying to catch the viewer’s attention.
Creating your poster – you can create your own template or
use/rearrange the poster
provided
• In PowerPoint, create your poster as a single slide. You
can set the page size when
you start using File > Page Setup, so if you want an A3
poster (42cm x 32) or A1
poster (60cm × 84cm), you can specify this before you start
and enter the
dimensions manually.
• PowerPoint also allows you to add gridlines to help you
line up the poster elements.
Use View > tick the box next to Gridlines on the top tool
bar
• Make sure you convert your poster presentation to an mp4
prior to submission
Use the Insert function on the toolbar to add text boxes to
the screen. This allows you to
control the way the text is positioned on the page.
Content of the poster
• Make sure the title and all author’s names are prominent
and eye-catching
• Tell a story: provide clear flow of information from
introduction to conclusion
• Focus on your major findings – a common fault is to try to
cover too much. Few
delegates are going to read everything on your poster, so
get to the point.
• Use graphs, tables, diagrams and images where appropriate.
Use boxes to isolate
and emphasise specific points.
• A reference box should be included at the base/end of the
poster
• Follow the assessment criteria.
Design suggestions
• Use all the space at your disposal, but do not cram in the
content – white space is an
important part of the layout, and good use of it can make a
poster elegant and
arresting.
• Use colour sparingly – limited use of a few colours is
more striking than a ‘rainbow’
approach. Think about why you are using colour; it is
especially useful for emphasis
and differentiation.
• Avoid colour combinations that clash (e.g. red on blue) or
cause problems for people
with colour-blindness (e.g. red and green in proximity).
• Use white or muted colour background (e.g. pastel shades)
• The flow of information should be clear from the layout
• Clearly label diagrams/drawings and provide references to
them in the text where
necessary.
• Choose a clear font with large inner space (i.e. the space
inside the loops of letters
such as ‘o’, ‘d’, ‘p’). Good examples are Arial, Verdana,
Calibri, Georgia or Helvetica.
