How to
Prepare a Poster
A
POSTER is a very modern, brief method for transmitting
information. Being a lecturer at a POSTER SESSION you can give
information to the extent of the questioner's curiosity. That is
how a POSTER SESSION becomes an INTENSIVE source of INFORMATION
EXCHANGE with minimum redundancy.
The paper has
got to be CONDENSED. Make it shorter by picking out the
important sentences of all the parts of the paper which still
read as complete sentences. In this shortened text, underline
the important KEYWORDS; arrange them in a logical chain to
indicate the different steps of the work, from the aims to the
conclusion, pointing out the significant steps; form sentences
like SLOGANS - it is not important that they should be complete
sentences. You should give more space to RESULTS and CONCLUSIONS
It is advisable
to use BIGGER or Bold Letters for keywords and DIFFERENT
COLOURS for questions and answers.
A poster may
only contain figures which make it easier or quicker to
understand the point.
