Basic
principles
• 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
Please
use the provided template and PowerPoint to create your poster.
• 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.
