Color
•Double edged sword•Background should generally be light
–Visually more comfortable
•Use colored text to e.g. harmonizesections
•Think of purpose before you colorsomethingg–Don‘t use color only to capture attention–Use it to organize your poster
Space and lineup• Make sure you know the
dimensions of your poster beforeyou begin.
• First, use paper and pensil.• Try to have no more than 5 sections
on your poster.– About 50% of poster should be
unused!• Or to be used to connect different
sections
• Unusual forms are double edgeswords too.– Use sparingly
• Lineup should be logical

Presentation of data•Same common rules apply for figures and
tables as in scientific articles, i.e. should beable to stand alone.
•Tables: best if max 20 items•Figures: best if max 34 lines per fig. or
68 bars.•Main points presented CLEARLY
•Colors andsize are important
Presentation of data•Uniformity in display is important
•Photographs can say more than 1000 words–Should have a more meaningful purpose than just
to be visually interesting
•Pictures must be easily understood
•Matte texture of pics better than glossyglossy
•Try not to use pictures as backgrounds

Don‘t drown your poster in text#4
Nothing kills a reader’s enthusiasm more quickly than a long, unbroken block oftext (see screenshot).Rather than cramming a year’s worth of activities into onenarrative, look for ways to break out some pieces into standalone stories. Thenplace each of those stories in its own text box.To create a new text box in Word,go to Insert: Text Box and then click and drag to draw the box on screen. To givethe box a background color and help separate it from the rest of your text,choose Format: Text Box and click on the Colors And Lines tab. To remove thedefault border around the box, set Line Color to No Line.To create a new text box in Pages, go to Insert: Text (if the menu item is grayedout, click on the edge of your document to hide the blinking cursor) and thendrag the edge of the box to create the desired shape. You can add a fill color or aborder from the Graphic section of the Inspector palette.If you can’t turn your long story into a few shorter stories, you may be able toseparate your text into smaller chunks by adding subheads. Leave an empty lineabove each subhead, but not below it— you want the eye to associate thesubhead with the paragraph beneath it. Also, make your subheads similar in sizeto your body text (you can use a special font or color to help them stand out). Ifthe subhead is much bigger than the body text, it could mess up text alignment.Tip: To ensure that your subheads are consistent— a key tenet of good design—create a style for them. Once you’ve designed a subhead, highlight it. In Word, goto Format: Style. Click on New and give the subhead style a name. If you’d like touse it in other documents, select the Add To Template option. Then click on OK.In Pages, click on the plus sign (+) at the bottom of the Styles drawer (if you don’tsee the drawer, press CommandshiftT to open it).
My new great super awesome poster where I present my greatest scientificachievement on my super duper great research project which no one cares to readbecause I put way too much text on this poster and the audience can‘t make sense
of the main points which is a shame because it took me months to prepare thepresentation for the conference in Australia which was also super expensive

Properties of great posters
Focus
Simplicity
Graphics
Organization
..the focus should be on a single message wherever possible..don‘t tell the story, show it – a picture says more than 1000 words..important not to drown the audience in text..logical order of the material on the poster is essential in order not tolose the thread
