- Define the purpose of your paper. Knowing the purpose will help you decide what to include and not to include.
- During the conference, make sure that your poster is catchy to attract the readers, more importantly, to attract the evaluator if winning the competition is a target.
- The title is important and is a good way to sell your work. The title usually is the only thing the conference attendee sees before they reach your poster. Titles must be readable.
- Many of the rules in writing a good paper also applies to posters.
- Layout and Format are critical. Please make sure that your poster does not look like a full paper with so much content. Instead, try to select the most important aspects of your paper and emphasized it in your poster. Avoid being too textual and too visual. Find balance on what you present.
- Content is important but keep it concise. Use appropriate text style and size. Use high-end good quality images or figure to illustrate complex sets of numbers or texts not to impress viewers with complex artistry. Have a clear and obvious set of conclusions, after the abstract; this is where the viewers’ eyes will wander.
