Organising your poster
We suggest the following format for the organisation of your poster:
Title: The title of your submitted abstract
Authors: Who was involved, and their affiliations
Introduction: A statement about the aims and objectives of the study
Methods: A description of the methodology that you have adopted, including any assumptions
Results: Include examples of the main results of the study
Conclusions: List the main findings and your thoughts about how the work could be progressed further
Formatting your poster
1. Keep fonts simple and use one or two different fonts only
2. Font size – your poster should be easily legible at a distance of 1.5 metres. We recommend the following font sizes:
- Title: 80 - 100 pt (font size).
- Authors and institutions: 30 - 40 pt.
- Main text: 32 - 40 pt, although 28 pt or even 24 pt could be used in isolated areas, or if you have a very large amount of text.
- References / Bibliography: 24 - 32 pt.
3. Keep use of colour to a minimum
4. Maintain a consistent style
5. Keep text to a minimum
6. Neutral colours work better as a back ground than bright colours
7. Make use of graphics where possible
8. Only include what is absolutely necessary
9. Do not overload tables and figures with information
10. Be selective when showing results
11. Check spelling
12. Above all, keep it simple
Instructions for Poster Presentation
- To be of value, your poster should not be too cluttered. It should be set out in a clear and logical manner, with reading matter reduced to an essential minimum.
- Lettering, including figure legends, labelling, symbols & graphs etc, should be large enough to be legible at 140cm. Ordinary type-face is NOT adequate.
- Drawings, diagrams and photos are extremely helpful and often necessary to display results and conclusions. Make sure that your illustrations are easy to understand; do not overload any chart or drawing with information.
- If the first author is not able to attend the Meeting, then a co-author will be able to represent on your behalf.
