• Title: Shorter is catchier and will fit more easily. Font size recommendation: 90pt
• Name and affiliation: Both should be easily discernible; your viewers want to know where you and your co-authors come from.
• Headings: Show viewers at a glance what each section is about. Font size recommendation: 36 – 48pt
• Introduction: What are you talking about and why should your viewers be interested? Brevity is important here as the content of the introduction will be illuminated elsewhere on the poster.
• Body: The main part of your story. Keep text to a minimum (use 800 words as a guide). Font size recommendation: +/-24pt
• Graphics: Graphics such as tables, charts, and photos are important on posters. They should be relevant, prominent, and of a suitable quality to be printed on the A1 poster.
• Conclusions: What should viewers take away with them?
• References: Give credit to any resources you used in making your poster.
