Common problems
The text is too small Poor quality graphics, tables and
graphs Poor organisation Main points too difficult to find
![Page 5: How to create a Scientific poster for the Group 4 presentation](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56812d0a550346895d91dcf6/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Things to consider before starting
What is the main message are you trying to get across?
What diagrams, tables and graphs will you need?
Who is your audience? Create a sketch of what you want
your final poster to look like

The Design
![Page 7: How to create a Scientific poster for the Group 4 presentation](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56812d0a550346895d91dcf6/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
General Points
Measure your poster. How much room do you have for each section?
Divide the tasks Set up a timeline. When are you
going to meet up to edit your design?

Text
Your title should be at least font size 72 Your sub-titles should be at least font
size 36 and text should be at least font size 24
Do not over use text – use images or graphics instead
Use bullet points were appropriate Choose a font style which is easy to read
![Page 9: How to create a Scientific poster for the Group 4 presentation](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56812d0a550346895d91dcf6/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Colours
Stick to a theme of 2 or 3 colors, no more
Use a light colour background and dark letters for contrast
Very bright colours will attract attention, but are not easy to read
Consider people who are colour blind - avoid combinations such as green on red

Graphics
Diagrams, Tables and Graphs communicate information quickly and easily
Graphics should be kept simple Use simple 2-D line graphs and bar
charts Use photos and/or clipart but not
too many

Layout
The number of sections you have depends upon your investigation but should include Title, Abstract, Hypothesis, Method, Results, Conclusion and References
Use Headings to help the reader find each section
Consider numbering the sections Use colour and white space creatively to
aid the flow of reading See next slide for an example

Evaluate your poster
Get someone from another group to assess your poster before you stick anything down
Check whether it is easy to know which section follows which
Can you read your poster in 1 to 2 minutes Usually posters need the amount of text
reducing
