This document provides guidance on creating an effective research poster. It explains that a research poster serves to advertise one's work and presents research findings to classmates or conference attendees. When designing a poster, one should consider the most important research finding, how to visually share results using charts/graphs/images, and what complementary information can be provided verbally. A good poster will meet event guidelines, be readable from 4-6 feet away, focus the main message, convey information visually, and have a clear organization with balanced text, graphics, and empty space. The document includes examples of common poster sections and tips for an effective design.
