Making a poster for an upcoming conference this summer?

Here are some hints I got from a recent workshop:

-Less is more [don’t write an essay]

-Colour is a must [black & white is boring]

-Creativity [throw in a cool picture or quote]

-Font size [don’t need a magnifying glass]

-Images/plots should be the focus

-Delineate sections with titles or borders [organization/structure]

-Would you stop to read it if you were at a conference?

 

Feel free to add your suggestions/comments!
