POSTER CONTENT AND LAYOUTYour poster should contain the followings:

• Title; describing the project and mentioning the people involved in the work

• Background/Aim; informing about the aim and objectives of the research

• Methods section; explaining the basis of the techniques which were used

• Results section; showing illustrative examples of the main results

• Summary and Conclusions; listing the main findings of your investigations

The poster layout should be easy for viewer to follow. It should be read from left to right and from top to

bottom. You may choose to number the individual panels or using arrows to assist viewers to follow through

your poster. An example is as shown below:

ADDITIONAL GUIDES1. Simple and Concise

Make full use of the space. Do not overfill the page as it will appear unattractive and difficult to read.

Use only pertinent information to convey your message, presenting only those that illustrate the main

findings of the project when showing results

2. ReadabilityTo accommodate a group of people reading a single poster, the size of the lettering must be large

enough to be legible at a distance of approximately 1.5 to 2 m.

• The minimum font size for your text should be at least 20 pt and approx. 70 pt for your title.

• Ensure good contrast for your background and text

Do not use all upper case in your posters as it makes your material difficult to read

3. Use PicturePresent numerical data in the form of graphs, rather than tables.
