Description
Main factors to consider when choosing information:
Find the most important highlights of your topic (no need to be too detailed as you already presented them the previous weeks
Consider any suggestions or questions during the past 2 weeks
Visual impact: you want to draw your audience’s attention
- Finding a right balance between text and graphics
- Posting instructions
- Use a powerpoint slide or a google presentation slide. You will be using ONE slide only as a digital poster. You can download one of the attached templates and edit it, or start from scratch. I recommend you start with a Layout that has Title and Content, and then just add more content by inserting Textboxes, Pictures, Tables etc.
- Your font cannot be smaller than 9.
Avoid long sentences and use bullet points or lists.
Avoid also too flashy templates and overwhelming figures. Balance is the key.
Color: be creative but avoid too harsh colors for background, or too light colors for text.
- What to post
- By now you probably have lots of information available. So the main challenge here is to summarize. Think about a graphic elevator speech- what are the main points I want to get across to my audience?
- Sections of the poster:
- Background: you will define/summarize your topic.
