Illustrations
• Ideally, illustrations (photos, figures, tables & graphs) should dominate your poster.
These should be at least 13 x 18 cm (5 x 7 inches).
• Use high quality illustrations of sufficient resolution. Captions and labels on visuals
should be readable from a distance of two meters. Graphs and figures should be
simple - avoid unnecessary detail.
• Graphs are preferred over tables.
• Avoid tables with excessive information. As a guideline, you should consider the
following question “Do I need to present all the information in the table for a reader
to understand why I reached the conclusions that I did?”
Recommended fonts and font sizes:
• Choose a readable, sufficiently large font, (e.g., Arial, minimum 28 points) for the text.
• Main title: 100 points or larger
• Sub-title: 36 points
• Main text: minimum 28 points
• References: minimum 24 points
• Do not use more than two font types!
Useful tips:
• Print your poster on a standard sheet of paper. If you can read all of it comfortably,
your type sizes are right. The small print version will also serve as a handout.
• Choose a column format to make your poster easier to read in a crowd.
• Consider your target audiences and simplify your message for those who do not
have much knowledge about your field of research! Be brief. Express your ideas in a
concise form.
