Research Poster DesignMicrosoft TeamsResearch Poster Design: Designed for Postgraduate Researchers producing their first poster; and also a refresher for those who have produced several. A good poster allows us to communicate our research quickly and clearly. A poor poster will put off our intended audience. So how do we make our poster clear, impactful AND tell everyone what we know? To start we will evaluate a series of posters in order to decide what works; which of them are clear, engage us with their research and memorable. We will also examine two major design styles to see what will work for us and our research. We will look at further techniques for poster design and presentation and discuss how to tailor this to your research area. PowerPoint is one of the simpler methods of Poster design, and is therefore the package that we will be suggesting you use. If you are unfamiliar with PowerPoint or want to use another software package then you will need to attend an IT Services training course. ‘Specific, to the point advice & guidelines’ 2019 ‘Excellent trainer and materials, clear and concise’ 2019 |
