Write for your audience non-specialists clear language, avoid or explain jargon no more than 3 minutes reading? what ‘news’ are you offering them? how will this interest them? what questions will they be asking? answer them!

Information at a glance use a big title that catches the eye use photos to attract attention use headings to ‘chunk’ information use bullets to summarise text use diagrams to summarise ideas use charts to summarise data include your name and contact details

serif – sans-serif - cursive Make text legible make text easy to read from 1m+ large text sizes (18 - 24 pt) for ‘body text’ avoid CAPITALS high contrast between text and background simple but stylish typefaces avoid long line lengths (max 50 characters) use columns or text boxes have someone else check your spelling serif – sans-serif - cursive

Design essentials does the design assist understanding? lead the eye across / down the text leave plenty of “white space” create a clean and consistent look fonts and sizes, colours and shapes align design elements – or separate use colour purposefully borrow ideas from posters you like

Standard poster layouts

Creative poster layouts don’t feel trapped by the guidelines! use your creativity and imagination is the structure clear? is the text legible? is the design coherent?

Layout grids

Don’t… make assumptions about the display arrangements at the conference try to squeeze too much on to the poster use fancy fonts and textures expect print to match screen colour leave things until the last minute!

Poster production Start with the content text, images and graphics Decide on overall colour scheme Create first draft using PowerPoint get feedback from colleagues Update and proof-read Print on large ink-jet
