Visual Tips

Visuals are the focal point of a poster

• Photographs, illustrations, diagrams and charts can all present the same information in different ways.
• Labels must be close to any diagrams.
• Do not overwhelm the viewer with too much information.
• Less is more in a poster.
• Think of your poster as an illustrated abstract.

Minimize text - use graphics

• Keep text to a minimum.
• A poster is not a blown up paper!

No one reads lots of small text that is unreadable from more than a foot away.
