Before you start your poster, READ and FOLLOW this!

1. Before you start your poster, READ and FOLLOW this! 1. Learn basic design principles. 2. Use this template for your poster. • The whole point of a research poster is to make your project interesting and easy to understand. Good design is not “frosting”—it’s thoughtful composition to encourage learning. • With that in mind, review these links for simple tips to make you poster as good as it can be: • http://colinpurrington.com/tips/academic/posterdesign • http://www.cns.cornell.edu/documents/ScientificPosters.pdf • http://rgs.usu.edu/studentresearch/htm/skills-and-resources/great-examples/great-posters • Then, prepare your poster elements to accommodate good design: • Brief, effective (accurate) text in easy-to-read chunks • Simple, high-res figures and graphs • To make your job easier and to present a branded university presence, we’ve provided some sample posters for you to work from on the following slides. To get started, do the following: • Choose a slide template you want to start with. • Begin cutting and pasting your text into the appropriate sections. Add different headers if needed. • Add your high-resolution figures and graphics. Make them the focal point of the poster. • Tweak your elements to make them fit, but maintain the following: • Text size- If it doesn’t all fit, edit the text down; don’t make the text tiny. • Alignment • White space • Calibri font • Color palette included in this document
