Additional poster tips
- Use a large, legible font size for all text on your poster:
- Title banner should be legible from 20 feet away
- Body text should legible from 6 feet away
- Utilize headings and subheadings effectively to make the content visually distinct.
- Avoid overcrowding your poster with long paragraphs. Whenever possible, present information in concise bullet points, graphs and images.
- Opt for light backgrounds with dark text to ensure readability.
- Ensure that all figures, graphs, photos, and visual content are high-quality and clear. They should be visible and readable from about 10-15 feet away.
- Label each figure, graph, photo, or visual content to provide clear reference.
