Salient features of a good poster
• Keep it simple
• Develop an information hierarchy
• Developing a layout
• Use a grid to keep items aligned and straight
• Use a text hierarchy
• Use a column format
• Selecting fonts and using texts
• Choosing and using proper colours
Developing a layout
Divide your information into main sections, for example:
Title -concise name of poster, contributors, organization
Introduction -statement giving quick overview of poster
Problem -statement of the problem
Method -brief description-processes and procedures
Results -outcomes, findings, data
Conclusion -summary, discussion of significance of
results
References-Key references only
Using and choosing colours
• Colours and backgrounds should be subtle.
• Colour: highlight, separate, define and associate
information
• If it begins to compete with your information for
attention then it is too strong.
• Background Colour: Solid cream, beige, white.
Avoid dark colours.
• Black text on white: high impact and excellent
readability.
Assessing posters
Sample of a well design poster Sample of a poorly design
poster
To conclude
• Title: short and draws interest
• Important information should be readable
• Text: clear and to the point
• Use of bullets, numbering, and headlines make it
easy to read
• Effective use of graphics, colour and fonts
• Consistent and clean layout
• Includes acknowledgments, your name and
institutional affiliation
