Any1 knows the format for a poster ?

Answer 1

Usually the conference will give out exact poster information, such as the size required.

It is best to divide your poster into blocks. Briefly do an introduction and methods. The focus of your poster should be your results. Make sure the headings of each block state explicitly what the "take home message" is. Often people will only read the poster if the main headings catch their eye.

Spend lots of time making the best figures you can. Visual information is key. People will not read large tracts of text.

Summarise the findings in a small conclusion box in the end.

Presentation is everything. Choose a conservative colour scheme that highlights your work, and not something garish and "arty". Make sure all headings and text are in appropriately large font sizes. Less text is generally better.

Good luck.

Answer 2

Posters are meant to tell something. Therefore they need to be readable. They need a center of interest. Keep all letering the same color, style and legible. Dont over crowd the poster. spell all words correctly.
