SUMMARY
Here we present some general poster guidelines which should be considered when creating poster for the Smagrimet Colloquium in Croatia. Note that each author has the freedom to customize the poster according to the character of his own research and to modify the poster design (background colour or fonts) according to his own preferences. The maximum poster size should be approximately of A0 size (i.e. 119 cm height and 84 cm width). We suggest to put the summary (abstract) of the research into the poster (as shown here) for quick reference.
MOTIVATION

Try to illustrate the problem and the research area
Use notes and illustrations
Present and discuss the main research results
Not all the research is of the same character – there is theoretical and experimental research and the myriad of their combinations
The poster design should be customized for optimal presentation of each research
