Data
Your research will inevitably contain graphs and data, and phone number romania whilst you may want to show them all off on your poster (because they took ages to make!) you need to decide which are the most important.
Be selective – Display only essential data on your poster. Whilst pictures and graphs do help break up text, you don’t want to overload your audience with information so only include the most important graphs.
Simplify – Simplify your graphs and, if necessary, re-label them so scientists outside of your field will understand the basics.
Summary figure – Pick a single graphic to support your key finding and help your audience understand your punchline – fast.
Formatting – Apply the colour scheme and fonts of your template to any imported graphs for consistency across your poster. You can find pre-designed graphs in the sticker sheet for each of our templates!
