If you have only a few illustrations, make them large. Do not omit the text, but keep it brief. The poster should be understandable without oral explanation. Typography Avoid abbreviations, acronyms and jargon. Use a consistent type style throughout.
Size attracts attention.
Arrows, pointing hands, numbers and letters can help clarify the sequence. The temptation to overload the poster should be resisted. More material may mean less communication. Post a large typed copy of your abstract in the upper left-hand corner.
