       MACAULAY ITF - QUEENS COLLEGE

  Adapted from a presentation created by Maggie Dickinson
What is a Scientific Poster?
                       It is:
• A visual means for communicating a summary
  of research.
• Typically created for an academic or
  professional community.
• Should highlight the most important research
  findings in an aesthetically pleasing manner.
Today’s Goals
• Learn the basics of poster design
• Determine how to create a successful poster
Poster Requirements
• Each group must create one poster to be
  presented by all group members.
• Posters can be made with
  PowerPoint, Keynote, or Illustrator.
• Dimensions must be 48” x 36”.
Selecting Slide Size in PowerPoint
•   Choose the theme tab
•   Select page setup in the top left hand corner
•   Highlight slide size
•   Pick your dimensions under “page setup”
Deadlines

  Thursday, December 6, 6:00-8:30
  Sunday, December 9, 10:00-12:30, 1:30-4:00
Suggested Components
•   Introduction/background
•   Problem Statement
•   Objectives (and possibly constraints)
•   Strategies
•   Discussion
•   Conclusions
•   Recommendations
•   Supporting graphs and images
How to Use Text
  Break text up with bullets or numbers.
      (As is done in this slide)

  Indenting shows subordination
       See?

 Avoid lengthy paragraphs that give far too much
detail, like talking about why you did what you did and
   whether you dislike positivism because there is such a
   thing as reality out there and it operates in a certain way
   and we should be able to access that in some shape,
   form, or fashion and besides it’s all from some stuffy
   old dead guy thinking too hard, anyway.
Less is More
Teeth are ideal for          Teeth & Life History
studying life history          Incremental growth
because they grow              Not remodeled
incrementally, are not         Resistant to environmental
remodeled during an            stress
individual’s lifetime, and
are not highly subject to
environmental stresses.
Design Essentials
Make sure your font colors stand out against the
   background.
 Use fonts people can read.
   Titles & headings should be 40 to 70 pt.
   Body text should never be less than 14 pt.
Be consistent with colors and use them to guide the
   reader.
   Use one color for headings, another for body text.
Use a single color background, anything else will
   not come out clearly in your printout.
