Layout for Post – PowerPoint Template

Long panel at top-centre is title/author banner. Individual panels can be connected by

numbers and arrows. Also, note the use of space between panels to achieve visual appeal.

Design and layout considerations

Once you have written your text, you need to think about how you will present your text

and diagrams. There are a number of things to consider:

• Font - choose a font that is easy to read. Most of the standard fonts are fine for this

(e.g. Arial , Times). Avoid mixing too many fonts as this can look messy. Two is often

ideal; one for the headings and one for the main text.

• Do not have too much text as it can be difficult to read. Think about summarising

main points in text. Keep blocks of text to the minimum.

• Case - text in UPPER CASE can be very difficult to read, even at close distances, and is

best avoided.

• Colour palette. Colour can add an extra dimension to your poster design, making a

poster more attractive and giving you another method of highlighting particular

aspects of your information. Choose colours that work well together so that they

don’t detract from the information in your display. It is sensible to use a small range

of colours so that your poster doesn't look chaotic.

• Diagrams. Displaying information on a poster gives you an opportunity to represent

your data in an interesting and eye-catching way. Think about how your display can

be enhanced through the use of illustrations, tables, charts or photographs. The

inclusion of one carefully chosen image can be a very powerful way of drawing

people’s attention to your poster.

• The board must be oriented in the "landscape" position (long dimension is

horizontal).

• A banner displaying your poster title, name, and department (or class, if appropriate)

should be positioned at top-centre of the board.

• Make it obvious to the viewer how to progressively view the poster. The poster

generally should read from left to right, and top to bottom. Numbering the

individuals panels, or connecting them with arrows is a standard "guidance system"

(see Figure 1 above).

• Leave some open space in the design. An open layout is less tiring to the eye and

mind.
