  3. Posters that do not meet these specifications will not be displayed
A Few Tips on Poster Preparation
  1. Divide the content into appropriate sections and keep text brief (e.g., Abstract, Introduction, Objectives, Methods, Results, Discussion and Conclusions).  Arrange the material so that it is readable and flows well.
  2. Keep figures simple. Convey only one idea per figure, table, or photograph. Too much detail detracts from the primary message of the figure. Avoid including too much information, which leads to a cluttered appearance and makes the poster difficult to read.
  3. Text and figures should be readable to someone standing at a distance of six feet. Adjust font and image sizes accordingly. Bigger is generally better!
  4. Photographs should clearly show what you want the audience to see.
  5. Utilize color contrast to improve readability and highlight key points, but keep it simple. Too much color can detract from the overall message. White backgrounds generally are best for txt.
  6. Simple typefaces are preferable to fancy fonts. Bold type may be effective on headings.
