Things to keep in mind when creating your poster

Audience

Who will see your poster?

Design and organize your content to fit your intended audience. Remember, academics and PhD students in the broad field of Operations Management and Logistics will be viewing your poster and will be listening to your presentation. In addition they will vote for the NOMLC 2022 Poster Award.

Content

Be clear about what your research/project is really about. Be brief but include necessary details. Focus on what you have learned and what knowledge would you like to impart to your audience in the brief time that you have their attention. What discoveries have you found? Where they fascinating, surprising, disturbing? Did your findings confirm your hypotheses and assumptions, or run contrary to your expectations?

Design

Paying attention to visual design is essential for an effective poster. White space and images are as important as text. The layout should be eye catching. However, flashiness is not the main objective. The design goal is to help your audience understand your research. Remember that using high-quality graphics- including photographs, illustrations, charts, graphs, maps, etc. – will make it easier for your viewers to digest information. Arrange information in bullet points when appropriate. Put lists of statistics in tables. Highlight, bold, and/or italicize responsibly. Use colour if you can.

Other design tips

•      Keep titles brief: overly long titles are more difficult to remember.
•      Make your fonts big enough to read from a reasonable distance.
•      Put your name(s) and contact information on the poster preferably near the title.
