Poster Requirements
The best way is to do your poster is in PowerPoint, or similar, and then have it printed at a print shop. It should be printed on a large sheet, (e.g. 90 cm. x 120 cm).
Make sure that your Mentor has reviewed your poster before you have it printed.

Poster Presentations
Grab Attention! Title should be readable 6-7 m away
Deliver your message quickly Viewers must grab the “science” in 2-3 min
Write a concise abstract Transmit the important point of your poster
Consider the viewer who may only read the abstract
6
Poster Presentations ...be effective!
Keep text to an absolute minimum Tell your story with graphics as much as
possible Make your poster easy on the eyes
Use dark type on pale background Design simple flow paths Double space text Use easy to read fonts at 18pt minimum
7
Poster Presentations ...remember!
What hooked me? What did I get from a good presentation? Could I have gotten the basic message if the
presenter had not been there?

Making PowerPoint Slides
Avoiding the Pitfalls of Bad Slides
17
Tips to be Covered Outlines Slide Structure Fonts Colour Background Graphs Spelling and Grammar Conclusions Questions
18
Outline Make your 1st or 2nd slide an outline of your
presentation– Ex: previous slide
Follow the order of your outline for the rest of the presentation
Only place main points on the outline slide– Ex: Use the titles of each slide as main points
19
Slide Structure – Good
Use 1-2 slides per minute of your presentation Write in point form, not complete sentences Include 4-5 points per slide Avoid wordiness: use key words and phrases only
20
Slide Structure - Bad This page contains too many words for a
presentation slide. It is not written in point form, making it difficult both for your audience to read and for you to present each point. Although there are exactly the same number of points on this slide as the previous slide, it looks much more complicated. In short, your audience will spend too much time trying to read this paragraph instead of listening to you.
21
Slide Structure – Good Show one point at a time:
» Will help audience concentrate on what you are saying
» Will prevent audience from reading ahead
» Will help you keep your presentation focused
22
Slide Structure - Bad
Do not use distracting animation
Do not go overboard with the animation
Be consistent with the animation that you use
23
Fonts - Good Use at least an 18-point font
Use different size fonts for main points and secondary points
– Main pt is 26, and the this font is 22 Use a standard font like Times New Roman or Arial
24
Fonts - Bad If you use a small font, your audience won’t be able to read what you have written
CAPITALIZE ONLY WHEN NECESSARY. IT IS DIFFICULT TO READ
Don’t use a complicated font
25
Colour - Good
Use a colour of font that contrasts sharply with the background– Ex: blue font on white background
Use colour to reinforce the logic of your structure– Ex: bold blue title and dark blue text
Use colour to emphasize a point– But only use this occasionally
26
Colour - Bad Using a font colour that does not contrast with the
background colour is hard to read Using colour for decoration is distracting and
annoying. Using a different colour for each point is
unnecessary– Using a different colour for secondary points is
also unnecessary Trying to be creative can also be bad
27
Background - Good Use backgrounds such as this one that are
attractive but simple
Use backgrounds which are light
Use the same background consistently throughout your presentation
28
Background – Bad
Avoid backgrounds that are distracting or difficult to read from
Always be consistent with the background that you use
29
Graphs - Good Use graphs rather than just charts and words
– Data in graphs is easier to comprehend & retain than is raw data
– Trends are easier to visualize in graph form Always title your graphs
30
Graphs - Bad

Graphs - Bad
Minor gridlines are unnecessary Font is too small Colours are illogical Title is missing Shading is distracting
34
Spelling and Grammar
Proof your slides for:– speling mistakes– the use of of repeated words– grammatical errors you might have make
If English is not your first language, please have someone else check your presentation!
35
Conclusion Use an effective and strong closing
– Your audience is likely to remember your last words
Use a conclusion slide to:– Summarize the main points of your presentation– Suggest future avenues of research
36
Questions?? End your presentation with a simple question slide
to:– Invite your audience to ask questions– Provide a visual aid during question period– Avoid ending a presentation abruptly
37
Example “poor” or “good” slide
