- General guidelines
a. Less is more. Be clear and concise with poster design and content. Overcrowding a poster makes it difficult to read.
b. Include the title and name(s) of the presenter(s) in a larger, bolder font than the rest of the poster.
c. Consider including a QR code on your poster that will direct attendees to your contact information and more information about your poster and research.
- Images
a. Use high-quality images that will look good on screen.
b. Small images should not be stretched to make them larger.
c. If you take an image from the Internet, be sure it does not have copyright restrictions.
d. Do not use images that have watermarks as it looks unprofessional.
- Tables and charts
a. Audiences appreciate tables and charts that illustrate main points and are easy to read.
b. Avoid using small tables and charts with many crisscrossing lines and small type, as the audience will not be able to read them.
- Accessibility
a. Virtual poster presenters should consider their audience may view the poster from various devices (monitor, laptop, tablet, cell phone).
- Font
a. Consider font size and the amount of text on your poster; less text is preferred.
b. Use sans serif fonts such as Helvetica, Arial, or Calibri.
c. Use a font size of at least 24 point, but 32 point and larger is recommended.
d. Do not use all capital letters for emphasis.
e. Italics, underlining, shadows, outlines, etc., are difficult to read. Bold can be effective if used consistently and simply.
- Color and contrast
a. Background and foreground colors should offer good contrast for people with low readers.
- Text over a photo or image background is very difficult to read. If you must use a background image, decrease the brightness, and increase the opacity.
