Most of us are accustomed to writing research reports by this point in time, but how do we translate that to a poster?
Your first instinct may be to tack up your entire report on a posterboard.
Think about what your main message will be. Everything on the poster should support that message. What’s going to make people stop and want to look at your poster?
How do we do that? Think about how bad it is when professors read off a powerpoint. Think of your poster as a illustrated abstract. Do not include the abstract or keep it short. Unless your research about methods, you don’t want that section to overwhelm.. Usually the focus is on results. Figures or flowcharts for methods.
