Making Effective Posters

The document provides guidance on creating effective posters for research presentations. It recommends that posters be 4x3 or 3x4 feet in size, include standard identifying information, and have sections for the title, abstract, objectives, methodology, results and discussion, conclusion, and references. Posters should use simple, clear language with short sentences and highlight key results visually through charts and graphs rather than large blocks of text. Font size and type choices are also addressed to maximize readability. The overall goal is to stimulate interest, discussion, and feedback on the research.
