Lettering

  •  Kindly use both UPPER and lower case letters for general content, as-all capital text is difficult to read. It is recommended to use 14 Times New Roman font style for the content of the poster.
  • Make sure there is enough contrast between the colour of the text and the poster’s background.

  • Avoid the use of full sentences and rather use short text in bullet point format.
  • Avoid using watermarks that may detract from the readability of your poster.

Illustrations

  •  Illustrations are the most important part of the poster and will attract the most attention. Colourful charts and graphs are the easiest to read. Explanatory illustrations should be use instead of the text whenever possible.

  • Try to utilize the space on your poster as creatively as you can to attract the audience and make sure that the images are easy to understand.
