This document provides guidelines for designing effective scientific posters. It recommends organizing the poster content into sections including the title, authors, abstract, introduction, methods, results, conclusions, and references. Graphic elements like images and tables should enhance the layout rather than clutter it. Text should be kept concise by using bullet points and limiting lengthy paragraphs. The poster design should follow principles such as using high color contrast, aligning all elements neatly, and implementing an underlying structure to guide the visual flow from top to bottom and left to right. Examples of both good and bad poster designs are provided.
