Text Tips

Organizing text

• Use headings to help readers find what they're looking for: objective, results, conclusions, etc.
• The basic elements of a poster are the main heading, visuals, and finally, the supporting text.
• Columns help.

Textual Parts of a Poster

• Include a header with the name of the student(s), the name of the university and department, and funding agency.
• Be sure to identify the funding agency as "Sponsor: ..."
• Your poster should contain:
  • the title of your project.
  • a list of all project collaborators.
  • an abstract.

Tell viewers - what your text and images should say!

• Tell us why your work matters
• What you did
• What you found
• What you recommend.
• Avoid excessive focus on methods - it's the results and implications that count!
