GUIDELINES FOR POSTER PRESENTATION

http://www.pitt.edu/~etbell/nsurg/PosterGuide.html
General aim and format
A poster is a graphically based approach to presenting research. Use the poster as
a means for generating active discussion of the research/scientific ideas/topics.

Limit the text to about one-fourth of the poster space, and use "visuals" (graphs,
photographs, schematics, maps, etc.) to express the information.

Design and layout specifications

The orientation may either be "landscape" or portrait position. Use A4 or
legal
size.
A banner displaying your poster title, name, and class (if appropriate)
should be positioned at top-center of the board/paper (see Figure 1). Create
your own title what is assigned to you is the topic NOT the title.

The poster should read from left to right, and top to bottom.
Long panel at top-center is for the title/author banner. Individual panels may
be connected by numbers; or arrows; or none at all. The use of space between
panels to achieve visual appeal is important.
Figure 1 shows examples of lay-out for your guidance. You are free to come
up with your own lay-out and style.

Poster Session: A Guide for Preparation: U. S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 88667).

Visuals
Present numerical data (if any ) in the form of graphs or tables. If data must be
presented in
table-form, keep it simple.
Visuals should be simple and bold. Leave out or remove any unnecessary
details.
Make sure that any visual can "stand alone" (i. e., graph axes are properly
labeled,
maps have north arrows and distance scales, symbols are explained, etc.).
Use color to enhance comprehension, not to decorate the poster.
Make sure that the text and the visuals are integrated. Figures/Tables should
be
numbered consecutively according to the order in which they are first
mentioned in
the text. Each visual should have a brief title. Cite source/s of pictures /graphs
/figures if not your own.
Text

Keep the text brief. Blocks of text should not exceed three paragraphs.
Use text to (a) introduce the study ( (b) explain visuals and direct viewers
attention to significant data/information in the visuals, and (c) state
conclusions/implications
Citation of the references of sources of information other than your own.
References Cited" is placed at the end of the poster.

Miscellaneous Suggestions
Simplicity is the key. Keep to the point, and do not try to cover too many things.
Present only enough information as prescribed.
When you begin to make your poster, first create a list of the visuals that you
would use. Write the text after you have created the list of visuals.
REMEMBER: POSTER PRESENTATION IS TO COMMUNICATE INFORMATION
THRU VISUALS AND ART
