Guidelines for preparing posters for ICTRT 2013
A Poster Session is a graphic presentation of an author's research. The authors illustrate their findings by displaying graphs, photos, diagrams and a small amount of text on the poster boards. Specific guidelines for preparing posters are as follows
- The poster should be prepared in portrait orientation with a size of 0.8m wide x 1.2m height. Please ensure that your poster does not exceed this size.
- Presentations should be kept simple and clear and a mixture of text and graphics is recommended.
- The poster should be well labelled and legible from a distance of 10 to 15 feet away.
- Use large type in short, separated paragraphs. Numbered or bulleted lists are effective ways to convey a series of points. Do not set entire paragraphs in uppercase (all capitals) or boldface type.
- Titles and captions should be short and easy to read, in a Times New Roman font for preference. Use large lettering as this means a number of people can read the poster from a distance without overcrowding. Remember to caption your poster with the abstract title, names of authors and affiliations.
- Use of 50 point size for title and 25 point size for text is recommended.
- Figures should be designed to be viewed from a distance and should use clear, visible graphics and large type. Each figure or table should have a heading of one or two lines. Additional essential information should be provided below in a legend. Photographs should have good contrast and sharp focus.
- Materials should be printed on coloured poster paper/ photo paper/flex/ vinyl . Use matt finish rather than glossy paper for better presentation.
- The posters will be pasted on fibre/ wooden panels with the help of double-sided cello tapes that will be provided by the organisers.
- Posters will be displayed serially and each poster will be provided with a code number for easy identification.
- Please ensure that you stand by your poster(s) during your session for discussion and answering questions raised by conference participants.
