Do this ...
Use a graphic hierarchy that visually reflects the relative importance of elements.
|
... not this
Use a text-heavy, publication-style format.
|
|
If it's important, make it BIG. Use type size proportional to importance.
|
Use 12-point font for just about everything. Actually, you could just
staple up your manuscript - why not?
|
|
Show, don't tell. No need to write down every detail.
|
Include every detail as you would for a journal article
|
|
Use simple figures and graphs, which should dominate the poster visually.
|
Use complex, difficult to understand graphics, which are only a small portion of the poster.
|
|
Make all graphic elements large enough to be visible easily from one meter away.
|
Make sure your figures are all small enough to fit on a small portion of a journal page.
