·         Include on your poster:

o   poster title

o   presenter(s) name(s)

o   organisation

o   a contact email address

o   a short summary of the project/research (1-2 sentences)

o   use sub-headings and graphics to separate the main text into easily digested blocks. This might include why you undertook this work, what you did, the outcome/findings, next steps, lessons learned etc.

·         The use of illustrative material, photographs etc. is recommended. Remember the visual impact of your poster is important.

·         The design should give quick impact and attract immediate interest. Simplicity is the key. It does not need to include lots of details just the main points. Use bullets, short sentences and small blocks of text. Use graphics and images that support the text to demonstrate your findings, break up the text and make it attractive to read.

·         Your broad outline should include a statement of the issue or theme, a description of methods used during the project, a presentation of results and summary of the work.
