Effective Poster Design for Academic Conferences Mojtaba Soltani (Ph.D.) Mojtaba Soltani, Islamic Azad University of Chalous, Chalous, Iran, Email:soltani_iau@yahoo.com

Why a scientific poster? One of the most common methods of disseminating scientific information at conferences! 1- Allows one to convey more details than in a talk 2-Provides an opportunity for more Q&A exchange between author and reader than a talk or paper Mojtaba Soltani, Islamic Azad University of Chalous, Chalous, Iran, Email:soltani_iau@yahoo.com

1- Know Your Audience 2- In 3 seconds, a viewer decides whether to approach your poster or leave. 3- Subject must be clearly understandable from at least 10 feet (3 m) away. Mojtaba Soltani, Islamic Azad University of Chalous, Chalous, Iran, Email:soltani_iau@yahoo.com

A poster is an abstract Organize Your Information Should contain all elements of a good research paper: Motivation/Background Procedures/Experimental Results/Analysis Conclusions Acknowledgments Title, Author(s) and affiliation(s) • Abstract • Introduction • Problem • Materials and Methods • Results • Conclusion • References • Acknowledgments • Contact Information A poster is an abstract Mojtaba Soltani, Islamic Azad University of Chalous, Chalous, Iran, Email:soltani_iau@yahoo.com

Posters should have more description than a talk slide, less description than a paper Too little description: too much description: Mojtaba Soltani, Islamic Azad University of Chalous, Chalous, Iran, Email:soltani_iau@yahoo.com

flow How to get started: Make sure there’s a coherent “flow” in your sections Mojtaba Soltani, Islamic Azad University of Chalous, Chalous, Iran, Email:soltani_iau@yahoo.com

1- Make a heading for each section 2- Make a statement for the information in each section 3- Find a focus, eliminate noise (edit, edit, edit!) 4- Put it together Mojtaba Soltani, Islamic Azad University of Chalous, Chalous, Iran, Email:soltani_iau@yahoo.com

Color contrasting colours located directly opposite each other on the colour wheel, complementary colour A combination of 3 colours side by side on the colour wheel, using one as a dominant colour and the others to enrich the scheme. 1- Use colour for a logo or a picture 2- Avoid coloured background 3- In the body of the poster, only use a support colour Recommended colour Recommended colour Mojtaba Soltani, Islamic Azad University of Chalous, Chalous, Iran, Email:soltani_iau@yahoo.com

Color The number of different colors should be limited If you have colorful photographs, use them as an inspiration for your color scheme. Mojtaba Soltani, Islamic Azad University of Chalous, Chalous, Iran, Email:soltani_iau@yahoo.com

Figures – At least 300 dpi at final size Photographs: – Avoid web captures—they are usually of low resolution – Put a thin outline around photos to help them stand out from the background – Consider removing background from photo where possible.

– Consider removing background from photo where possible. Mojtaba Soltani, Islamic Azad University of Chalous, Chalous, Iran, Email:soltani_iau@yahoo.com
