  1. Project PlanningPlan - Prepare - Procrastinate • Absolute Minimum Time: 2 weeks • Templates and Design Habits Save Time: Investment of First Time Designing Pays Off • IDEaS staff on occasions have perform miracles, However,Don’t rely on it! • Save time for • Corrections in spelling, typos, missing info • Pictures that don’t print, • Formatting problems • traffic jams at the plotter,

  2. ContentScope it Out • Purpose: To Communicate Scientific/Technical Information, VISUALLY • Understand the Constraints of Presentation: • Space is limited – Find out what you have – Use it all • Time is limited, Actual one-to-one contact time is very short • 11 second to trap the prey • Up to 10 min for them to devour your work • Let them have hours to digest your work by giving them a reprint • Work Most on Sparking Interest and on Keeping it, VISUALLY

  3. ContentSharpen the Focus of the Poster • DO NOT TRANSPOSE YOUR TECHNICAL PAPER!! • Carefully narrow the focus of your poster • Decide on a single key point. Focus should be: Keen interest to the audienceorControversial At the very least, Memorable • Point must be visible from 10 feet away. • Dedicate 1/3 of the Poster to that Point. • Rather than Condense the Manuscript, Expand the Abstract

  4. ContentPrioritize • Audience can have a short attention span. Prioritize the message. • Attention follows the following pattern: Title Large Pictures or Color Diagrams Interesting Subtitles Large Problem Statements Abstract Conclusions All the rest • Attention can be lost anywhere along the way.

  5. ContentUse Priority to Convey the Message • Tell the Story around the following Subtitles and prepare the content to fill the sections: Title Abstract Introduction Methods Results Conclusions Acknowledgements • Eliminate all Non-Essentials • Get rid of common knowledge, unprocessed data, and the mundane. If you must, bore them in the reprint.

  6. ContentVisually Demonstrate the Point • Use Graphs Not Tables • Try Bulleted Items Not Verbose Paragraphs • Use Arrows to Show flow Not Words • Label Graphs Directly DoNot Use Legends • Get directly to the Point and Reiterate it.

  7. ContentFinally: • Relevance- each element should have a purpose in the overall design • Proportion- size should relate to the importance of the object • Direction- signpost the order in which you want your poster read. The design needs to guide the reader from point to point. • Consistency- no piece should be in isolation. A design is an integrated whole.
