Posters:
- Develop your communication and creativity skills;
- Are a creative alternative to the traditional essay, report or paper;
- Encourage you to thoroughly investigate the topic;
- Enable your peers to also learn from your research (without them having to read a entire essay!) (Berry & Houston, 1995);
- Engage visual learners (Summers, 2005)
Your poster needs to be understood at a glance, i.e. it needs to be clear and concise and present the most important information in an accessible and visually appealing manner. It is a good idea to write an abstract (in sentence or bullet point format), which includes all the main points your poster needs to cover. Do not overcomplicate things and make sure you stick with the topic.
The poster has to convey the message, so consider also whether you can use non- verbal means (e.g. font, graphics, pictures, etc.) to do so.
Your poster will certainly contain some text. This can be sentences or bullet points or a combination of both. The amount of text required will depend upon what you want to convey - if large amounts of text are needed, consider using Serif fonts (e.g. Times New Roman) as they tend to increase readability of long texts.
