An overhead projector (OHP), like a film or slide projector, uses light to project an enlarged image on a screen, allowing the view of a small document or picture to be shared with a large audience.
In the overhead projector, the source of the image is a page-sized sheet of transparent plastic film (also known as "foils" or "transparencies") with the image to be projected either printed or hand-written/drawn. These are placed on the glass platen of the projector, which has a light source below it and a projecting mirror and lens assembly above it (hence, "overhead"). They were widely used in education and business before the advent of video projectors.

Posters are an effective method of presenting academic work or research in progress and, because some information is better presented visually, a poster may be more memorable than a verbal presentation. A poster presentation may be a required assessment task for undergraduate or postgraduate students. Posters are often included in the scientific program of a conference, and are usually displayed during a conference with times allocated for presenters to be available to discuss their content with attendees. A poster is an excellent way for beginning presenters to introduce their work to their peers. This also allows for valuable networking opportunities.
Before starting your poster Consider your audience: their interests and/or academic level. Allow enough time to plan and produce it. A good poster takes time. Know the presentation requirements including: poster dimensions; method of display; any mandatory content inclusions or presentation details; or if handouts are required as part of the presentation. Know the evaluation criteria for both the abstract (if required) and the poster. Critically review other posters for design, clarity, layout and overall quality. Consider different methods of production. These can range from cut and paste to a professionally developed and computer-generated poster.
