Our Poster Competition :
Layout: visually appealing and easy to follow (headings and subheadings
Reading order: reading order with a clear sequence of information (top to bottom and from left to right)
Balance: arranging text and images in such a way that both elements are balanced across the poster (high resolution images with a resolution of at least 300 pixels per sq. inch to avoid pixelated posters, when printed)
Effective use of Text: Try to avoid font sizes below 24. Be consistent with style. Make use of Italics, underlining and CAPITALS, bold, bullet points or line spacing.
Graphs and Images: Presenting numerical data use charts and graphs rather than tables. Format them effectively by keeping them simple, enlarging text and thickening lines.
Colour: Ensure that it does not obscure or detract from the text and images (amended from the University of Manchester, 2019)
