1 Scientific Poster Design How to keep your poster from resembling an abstract painting

2 A poster can be better than giving a talk More efficient because: you totally bomb at giving talks can be viewed while you nap can hang in the department for years can reach folks not in your field of research

3 Posters serve as An advertisement of your hard work Kool, wow!, check this out!, you must be smart!

4 It s just an illustrated abstract

5 Is my abstract effective? Why should anyone care? What am I adding to current knowledge? Do I need to explain methods? Have I told them what I found and recommend?

6 A portrait of a " grad student

7 I have 12 hours to throw this thing together and get it printed before it s due.

8 How do I get months and years of research onto my poster? Your poster is a short story Describe a few major points Arouse the reader s interest to read on Limit it to 250 words

9 Recite after me, Less is best!

10 Simplify your paper into poster format Find out the size required!

11 Who s my audience?

12 Remember, most of these scientists come for the free booze

13 Start putting " together your " 2 main elements

14 1) Simple, effective data displays

15 Keep it simple but effective

16 2) Small blocks " of supporting text The need for chairs in front of your poster will not go over well

17 Your copy should answer Why? What am I adding? Methods? What did I find? What do I recommend?

18 I could actually read this

19 .;i Cornell Center for Materials Research -$

20 Pick a software program Although you ll probably gravitate towards PowerPoint, consider a true design program.

21 " " PowerPoint " OK, but the colors will fool you" Easy to use" Inflexible" " Designed for overhead projection

22 " " " Adobe Illustrator or InDesign Excellent" More difficult to learn" What you see is what you get" Others: Canvas, Publish-It, Corel Draw, LaTeX, etc.

23 Let s design a poster!

24 Your poster title: " " Think BIG! Really Big!" Your biggest impact! Boldface type Not all caps! Group authors names and affiliations

25 The Secrets of Readable Text:

26 Leave breathing space around your text Plain fonts even serif here Same size and style Left-aligned The reason is

27 Hi there, my name is mitch collinsworth and I would like to tell you about myself and how I got this job at cornell. Well you see, my uncle had a friend who knew my cousin on the other side and his daughter worked for facilities. I was down on my luck and my sister told me she knew a guy who s nephew s wife s kid worked for this guys father and what can I say, he hired

28 Hi there, my name is mitch collinsworth and I would like to tell you about myself and how I got this job at cornell. Well you see, my uncle had a friend who knew my cousin on the other side and his daughter worked for facilities. I was down on my luck and my sister told me she knew a guy who s nephew s wife s kid worked for this guys father and what can I say, he hired me with no questions asked and just told me to keep my mouth shut. So here I am at CCMR.

29 Conclusions first! Put the most important part first! Short and to the point! Upper left hand corner

30 Easy for the eye to follow Utter chaos will make folks dizzy!

31 -;' Cornell Center for Materials Research -$

32 Can anyone read " your body text?

33 Text sizes: Title: 85 point Authors: 56pt Sub-headings: 36pt Body text: 24pt Captions: 18pt

34 Images and graphs say much more than words Should be readable from 1-2 meters

35 Keep posters visual!

36 Picture perfect photos Avoid resolution overkill!" At least 150 dpi, but no more than 300 dpi Save photos as jpg or png Line art as a png (graphs) Web images are usually " poor resolution

37 png jpg

38 Your cool images mean nothing without a " scale bar or description

39 Don t forget your funding acknowledgements CNF-NSF-BMR, etc Your department can provide you with the required wording

40 Your contact info!!! Without it you ll become " ya know, those guys with the awesome poster Include all contact info: Mail address Phone

41 Using color to engage your readers 2-3 colors, no more! Dark type on light color background

42 Whoa! Where s my sunglasses? This attracts attention but tires out the eye

43 Be carefull with the " primary colors

44 .) Cornell Center for Materials Research -$ Yellow on white is hard to read

45

46 Be aware of busy backgrounds
