POSTER PRESENTATION GUIDELINES

-Begin with an introduction that defines the subject of your critique and your point of view. Defend your point of view by using evidence and raising specific issues or aspects of the argument.

• Keep the text brief. Blocks of text should not exceed three paragraphs. Limit the text to about one-fourth of the poster space, and use “visuals” (graphs, pictures, etc.) to tell the “story.”
• Use text to introduce the study (what hypothesis was tested or what problem was investigated?
• Why was the study worth doing?
• Use text to explain visuals and direct viewer’s attention to significant information and relationships portrayed in the visuals
• Use text to state and explain the interpretations that follow from the data. In many cases, conclusions can be summarized in a bullet-point list.
• Cite and reference any sources of information in APA format, just as you would do with a paper. The “References Cited” is placed at the end of the poster.

– Make it obvious to the viewer how to progressively view the poster. The poster generally should read from left to right, and top to bottom. Numbering the individuals panels, or connecting them with arrows is a standard “guidance system”

– When you begin to make your poster, first create a list of the visuals that you would use if you were describing your project with only the visuals. Write the text after you have created the list of visuals.

• Visuals should be simple and bold. Leave out or remove any unnecessary details. SIMPLICITY IS THE KEY. Keep to the point, and don’t try to cover too many things. Present only enough data to support your conclusions. On the other hand, make sure that you present sufficient data to support your conclusions. Make sure that any visual can “stand alone” (i. e., graph axes are properly labeled, maps have north arrows and distance scales, symbols are explained, etc.). Each visual should have a brief title.
• Use color to enhance comprehension, not to decorate the poster. Neatly coloring black-line illustrations with color pencils is entirely acceptable.
• Present numerical data in the form of graphs, rather than tables (graphs make trends in the data much more evident). If data must be presented in table-form, KEEP IT SIMPLE.
