Basic Visual Design
Understanding basic visual design helps to present "clean" documents and communicate more effectively.
Four Basic Principles:1. Contrast2. Repetition3. Alignment4. Proximity

Contrast
AND, effective use of white space is the best contrast of all!
Use the principle of contrast to create strong dynamic differences among elements that are different.
If it is different, make it very different.

Repetition
Use the principle of repetition to repeat selected elements throughout your poster.
This can help give your poster unity and organization.

Repetition

Alignment
Use the principle of alignment to connect elements visually (through invisible lines) on your poster.
Grids are very useful for achieving good alignment.
This will give your poster a clean, well-organized look.

Proximity
Use the principle of proximity to ensure that related items are grouped together.
People will tend to interpret items together or near to each other as belonging to the same group.

Scientific Poster Tips
Keep it Simple!• Make ONE clear, major point• Follow basic visual design
principles• Place important information,
like conclusions, in visually effective places
• Make your findings obvious on multiple levels

Scientific Poster Tips
Colors and Fonts• Limit colors to 2 or 3• Limit fonts to 2 (Headers and Text)• Maximize Contrast of fonts/colors/background • Use highlighting selectively• Making reading (and seeing) easy • BIGGER IS BETTER!
![Page 22: Creating Scientific Posters and PPT Slides](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061111/54553e98af795998788b478b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Scientific Poster Tips
Text Thinking• Text should not be TEXT
• Always left justify• Include Methods &
Include Findings, but simplify descriptions
• Short text lines are easier to read
• Make use of headings, highlighted key words, and bullet points
![Page 23: Creating Scientific Posters and PPT Slides](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061111/54553e98af795998788b478b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Scientific Poster Tips
Pictures and Photos• Pictures can add detail• Pictures can help tell
the story• Pictures can provide
clarification• Pictures should not
stand alone• Pictures can be sized
and adjusted

Figures and Graphs• Keep figures and
graphs simple• Avoid “chart junk”• Create titles with a
message• Make clear
connections to findings and other elements in the poster

Reading Posters
which they the will view the poster.
Different distances require different sized text. Your primary message should be clear at a range of distances.
Effective scientific poster design must consider not only the ways that viewers “read” the poster, but also the range of distances from

Poster Reading Patterns
Effective poster design must not only account for key visual components, but also the ways that key terms and phrases catch the reader’s attention, especially at a distance.
