Assistance Getting Ready
• Attend Workshops and Trainings Calendar and Workshops
Keep your poster simple and uncluttered. Use calm, contrasting, and complementary colors. Use only one or two fonts; do not use all capitals, which are more difficult to read.
Make it visually interesting
Use color, graphics, photos, and other visuals to illustrate your topic (a picture is worth a thousand words.)
Make it readable
Make text readable from 5 feet or more away. Use bullets for main points. Details can be included in your conversation or on a handout.
Practice, practice, practice
There is no substitution for advance preparation. Create your 30-second "elevator pitch" to explain your poster to people as they look at your poster, and practice the pitch with your colleagues.
