Tables and Figures Anatomy of a Figure Caption –Concise, descriptive, expressive of key comparisons, themes, or manipulations Axes –Vertices at 0 and 0 Axis titles –Y-axis title=bottom-to-top Data points –Labeled clearly –Avoid cluttering data area Legend –Colors –Symbols

Tables and Figures Posters Used to… –Share academic ideas –Present preliminary findings –Present findings not intended for journal publication

Tables and Figures Characteristics of Posters Clear organization Short summaries and overviews Communicative visuals Visually “chunked” Readable text References, if necessary
