Rationale
What is your reasoning for your hypothesis?
(Limit your font choices to one or two typefaces, one for titles and one for content. You can add emphasis using bolded typeface, italics, and color. Text should be sized according to importance, meaning titles and important information are larger than supplementary information. It’s also important that you make sure the font sizes and styles you use are readable from six feet away from the poster. )
