  2. Thank you for accepting the offer to submit your ePoster. This guide provides some hints and tips about designing your poster in terms of structure and graphic design. There are also some rules…

  3. THE RULES: • Sound is not supported. No audio. • Images should be in .jpg format and each one not more than 1MB in file size. • These are the rules. The hints and tips on the following pages are just that – and ultimately it’s up to you. You should not feel constrained by the following design guidelines. • Video clips may be used. They should be embedded (not linked) and set to play automatically and loop continuously. • Videos should be less than 2 minutes in duration and must be in .mpg file format. (MPEG4) • Animations (text builds etc.) can also be used. We advise using them sparingly. They will need to be set to transition at timed intervals.

  4. An effective poster is… 2 1 3 FOCUSED GRAPHIC ORDERED Focus on your major findings. A common fault is to try to cover too much. Let graphs and images tell the story. Use text sparingly. Keep the sequence well-ordered and obvious.

  5. Start by designing your layout. Anyone viewing your poster should be able to easily understand the sequence of information.

  6. Layout design. The example show here shows the sequence clearly, because it has been organised into a grid. The following Sample on Slide 6 is can be used as a template if needed.

  7. Sample Poster Title : font size 20 - 24 logo Authors: font size 16-20 Affiliation: font size 16-20 Introduction; font size 16 - 22 Results Add text For example this picture should have 900 x900 pixels Materials and Methods Add text, pictures, tables or charts font size for tables or text 12-16 Pictures resolution 300 dpi For any section the font size is relative. If inserted text does not fill the current section, then font size must be increased. Also the layout, number of sections and titles could be modified as you desire. Font size should be minimum 8 points. Use contrasting colors to enhance the readability of poster. Don't use similar colors.

  8. Tips on design • Choose one font and stick to it. Using a range of different fonts will make your poster difficult to read. • Choose an easy to read font. • Use underlining and italics sparingly. • Light colored text on a dark background will be easier to read on a monitor. • Remember that those reading your poster could be standing back from it. Once you’ve built yours, stand back from the screen to see how it reads from a distance. • Anything less than 18pt will be very hard to read from a few feet away. This font color with background is harder to read than the adjacentexample. This font color and background is easierto read than the adjacent example. This is almost impossible to read. This is almost impossible to miss. This is 18pt. Use this size or larger. This Font of 7pt is too small to be read from a distance.
