 Suggestions for Effective Posters  

  1. Letters and numbers should be large enough to be readable from 1.5 m. For example, font size recommendations for Arial font: Title = 72 pt; Author and Affiliation = 48 pt.; Text = 36 pt. Use simple typeface and use bold type for headings. 
  2. Use bullets and keep text to a minimum. Don’t crowd information onto the poster. 
  3. Keep figures and tables simple. 
  4. Use a simple background and colour scheme that does not detract from the information being presented. 
  5. Excessive use of organized logos or advertisements is discouraged. 
  6. If possible, provide miniaturized copies of the poster (e.g., 22 cm x 28 cm: 8.5″ X 11″) and your business card OR provide a QR code of your poster and contact information. 
  7. Provide an envelope where people can leave their business card requesting additional information.  
  8. Include a recent photo of yourself in the upper right-hand corner so that people can find you for discussion later.
