6) Preparation of Illustrations and Tables
a.
Professionally drawn charts, tables, and graphics increase the effectiveness of the poster. Hand
lettered material should be in heavy lettering at least 3/8” high. Typewritten material is difficult to
read and should not be used. Bulletin (3/16”) typewriters may be used if absolutely necessary.
b.
Illustrations and tables should be kept relatively simple to maximize legibility. Avoid “arty” style and
keep captions brief. Number or letter and arrange illustrations and tables in the preferred sequence in
which they will be viewed.
c.
Lines in graphs should be heavy. Symbols, letters, and numbers should be large enough to be seen
from a distance of six feet.
d.
A backing of colored paper for each item on the poster is an inexpensive yet attractive and useful way
of enhancing the legibility of the data. As in the preparation of slides, contrast between lettering and
background is very important.
e.
Material to be displayed should be placed on regular weight paper or light weight cardboard, as heavy
board will be difficult to attach.
f.
You are required to indicate on your poster any off label or unapproved product uses you will be
discussing.
