How to Prepare a Poster
Well, I was searching around for some tips on preparing a poster presentation. I'm finishing up my poster for the conference, and I'm always looking for ways to improve my presentations :-)
Here are some of my own tips for preparing and presenting a poster:
- Keep the presentation well organized and uncluttered.
- Use plenty of white space
- Use effective graphics as much as possible
- Use large font for all text. Should be clearly readable from a few feet away.
- Use very large font for heading (Title and Author)-should be readable from many feet away
- Stand to side of your poster, so that you're not blocking it.
- Be prepared to answer questions, but don't interrupt when someone is reading your poster.
