    Seminar Three Poster Presentation

    This document provides guidance on designing effective scientific posters. It notes that posters should have large fonts, plenty of white space, and a clear organizational structure. Individual sections should each contain an image and headings to guide the viewer. Both excessive text crowded together and sparse designs with little information are discouraged. Specific recommendations include using Keynote or PowerPoint to create a single slide sized at 36" by 48" with sections for the statement, background, data, methods, results, and conclusions. Additional tips suggest using color, contrast, and directionality to effectively engage the audience. Examples of strong poster designs and other online resources are also referenced.
