What are some general rules I should think about when designing a poster?
• Your poster should be about 20% text, 40% graphics, and 40% white space. • Use the active voice on all text on the poster. • Keep text to the absolute minimum. • Text should be, at the minimum, twenty-eight or thirty-two points in size. Remember, for text, bigger is better. • Posters are graphical presentations; emphasize your charts, tables, and photos. • Match your handouts to work with the poster elements. The use of electronic media is also possible. Projector screen for students electronic media will NOT be used. Presenters need to e-mail Dr. Feili Tu at feilitu@sc.edu or tuf@gwm.sc.edu to request the use of electronic equipment by March 25.
