ADDITIONAL DIMENSIONS FROM FLOOR to Bottom of the Poster Board From floor to bottom of board 33 ½” 2.8 feet .85 m From floor to top of board 81 ½” 6.8 feet 2.0 m
Organizing your Information Focus on the introduction, methods, results and discussion, summary, and references. Make a small-scale sketch of your poster to ascertain if all the points you want to stress as well as headlines, text, figures and tables, photos, etc., will fit into the dimensions allowed. The poster should start in the upper left hand corner and flow generally from left to right and from top to bottom. The title, author name(s) and affiliation are often at the top of the poster. If necessary, use letters, numbers, or arrows to indicate proper flow to the audience.
Content Do not crowd too much information into the presentation; concentrate on a few main points. Highlight trends and comparisons with simplified graphics and diagrams. Often it is better to use outlines and bullets than paragraphs. Avoid overwhelming the audience with too many numbers, words, or complicated graphs. Make certain your message is clear because people will study your poster while you are away.
Lettering All lettering should be easily read from a distance of 1 meter (4-5 feet) Use a bold or semi bold typeface for headings and labels. Lettering for subheads and figure captions should be larger than that of the main text but smaller than the main heading. Text in upper- and lower-case letters is more readable than all capitals, but capitals for headings and labels are acceptable. Use sans serif type such as Arial or Lucida Sans for text. It is much easier to read than serif type such as Courier. All posters should feature a title, your name, and the name of the institution where the research was performed and should credit others, as appropriate. The title lettering should be about 2” to 3” (5” to 7.5”) with subheadings ½” to 1” high (1.25 to 2.5 cm).
Mounting = USE THUMB TACKS or PUSH PINS ONLY Do not use double sided tape, glue or Velcro.
