Figures should utilize as much of the column width as possible in order to maximize legibility. Use a sans serif
font, such as Helvetica. Helvetica is larger and easier to read than Times Roman. Using 12- to 14-point Helvetica
usually results in a legible figure.

INTRODUCTION
The introduction serves to attract the reader’s attention.
As a general rule, use a 34 point font for your poster
presentation. Otherwise, your audience will have
difficulty reading your interesting poster. This paragraph
uses a 34 point font Times New Roman.
Here you will tell in brief bulleted statements the main
points of your project (as will discussed in your report)
–Clearly state what the motivation and objectives
behind this project
–Tell what are the challenges encountered with this
project
–Present the main topology that has been used in the
project that you focus on in your report
•Your poster should be a summary of your report – not
something separate.
•Be sure to include the proper illustration in your poster
ANALYSIS
Here your poster presentation highlights the key parts of
your analysis. You can use bulleted points or a brief
paragraph. Remember, however, that bulleted points are
easier to read than paragraphs.
•Depending on the complexity of your issue, your
analysis might use two or more columns.
•You might present your comparisons, contrasts,
problems etc. that are revealed in your investigation
CONCLUSIONS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS
•Your recommendations should flow logically from the
–Issue(s) you have presented about your project
–The analysis – in which you may have revealed
pros/cons, strengths/weaknesses, or contrasts between
facts, and values (or other critical thinking).
•Present recommendations clearly and succinctly. Be
sure the reader understands why you have come to these
recommendations.
•In a sense, your recommendations are the conclusion of
your project. This is where you present what you think
needs to be done based on what others have
recommended on the issue (i.e., what you’ve cited) and
your own ideas.
REFERENCES
As with any document, you should provide references.
For references, you can shrink your font down to 16 or
18 point font. You can also copy and paste your APA
references from your project into the poster. Of course,
given that the poster is a trimmed version of your paper,
you might not need to include all the references from the
paper. Just include those that you cite in the poster.
Remember to use a hanging indent and APA formatting
for references.
TEMPLATE NOTES
-Please do NOT use background colours on your
poster
-Colours are not always perfectly colour matched on
a printout, if you want a nice glossy photo, it is
suggested to print it on a photo printer, then attach it
to your poster
