Guidelines for poster presentation
Layout: Design a clear and organized layout with sections like title, introduction, methods, results, discussion, conclusion, and references.
Font and Size: Use a readable font (Times New Roman) and maintain consistency. Headings should be bold, and text should be legible from a distance. Recommended font size is typically 36-44 points for headings and 24-32 points for body text.
Title: Make the title concise, informative, and cantered at the top. Include author names and affiliations.
Graphics and Images: Use high-quality graphics, charts, and images. Ensure they are labelled and referred to in the text. Maintain consistency in style and formatting.
Text: Keep text concise. Use bullet points, short sentences, and avoid excessive jargon. Clearly articulate the research question, methods, and key findings.
Citations: Include in-text citations for any information derived from other sources, and add a references section at the bottom of the poster.
Colour Scheme: Choose a visually appealing colour scheme. Ensure good contrast between text and background. Stick to a limited colour palette for a professional look.
Size: Standard poster size is often 36×48 inches. Verify any specific size requirements for your presentation.
Headings and Subheadings: Organize information using headings and subheadings. Follow APA guidelines for formatting these.
Review and Proofread: Thoroughly review and proofread your poster to eliminate errors and ensure clarity. Consider seeking feedback from colleagues or mentors
