Poster guidelines SUGGESTIONS FOR PREPARING POSTERS A poster presentation combines a visual display on a poster board of the highlights of research with a question-and-answer opportunity at a specified time. The schedule of fixing poster will be from 8am to 18pm. Content: •The poster should show the full title of your abstract. •Text should be brief and well organized, presenting only enough data to support your conclusions. •The text should make clear the significance of your research. •The text should include (most likely as separate elements of the poster) your hypothesis, methods, results, and conclusions. Design: •The poster dimensions can be a maximum of 120cm x 90cm with a vertical format. These dimensions are easier to design and view the poster. Please note the poster size and be attentive not to exceed these dimensions. Posters exceeding these measurements and extending into areas reserved for other posters will be removed. •A clear, simple, uncluttered arrangement is the most attractive and the easiest to read. •The title lettering should be approximately 8cm high, with authors' names and affiliations in somewhat smaller print. •Font type size should be at least 66 point for the title, 54 pt. for the authors and 32 pt. for the body text. The typeface chosen should be a simple and clear one (e.g.,Times New Roman or Arial). •Color should be used sparingly, to provide contrast. The featured parts of the poster can be highlighted with warm colors, and the less important parts can be done in cool colors. Some suggestions for color combinations are as follows: Green on white, red on white, black on white, blue on white, white on blue, and white on black. •Illustrations should be simple and eye-catching, with unnecessary detail left out. If possible, convert tables to graphic displays. Pie graphs can be used to show parts of a whole, line graphs can be used to show trends or changing relationships, and bar graphs can be used to show volumes. •Photos should be enlarged enough to show relevant detail. •Standard computer printouts do not work well on posters, because the type is too small and the lines are too thin to be seen from a distance. •Patient confidentiality must be protected. No names (or other identifiers, i.e. social security numbers, medical record number, birthdates, etc.) should appear in illustrations. |
