The poster session offers a more intimate forum for discussion than slide presentations, but discussion becomes difficult if the author must spend time explaining the poster to a succession of viewers. Remember that the time spent at each poster figure is determined by the viewer, not the author. An effective poster is neither a page-by-page printout of a journal paper nor a slide show, but balances figures and text. Although each figure should illustrate no more than one or two major points, figures need not be simple. The main points should be clear without extended viewing, but detail can be included for the aficionado. Biotech Productions can print and ship your order the same day.

For effective use of this space, consider organizing illustrations and text using a grid plan. Arrange materials in columns rather than rows. It is easier for viewers to scan a poster by moving systematically along it rather than by zig-zagging back and forth in front of it. Place your most significant findings at eye level immediately below the title bar and the supporting data and/or text in the lower panels. Use color to create logical groupings of figures. Double click graphic title text boxes to change background colors in the Format dialog box.

(Omit "Fig." or "Figure"; it is unnecessary and occupies too much space.) 1 Save time from your busy schedule. Have our Creative Services staff create your poster and/or presentation for you.

Describe concisely the content of the figure and the conclusions derived. Details of methodology should be brief and placed at the end of each legend. Design figures to be viewed from a distance and use clear, visible graphics and large type. Color is effective if used sparingly; use saturated dark colors on white or pale backgrounds and rich, light colors on dark backgrounds.
