Note: avoid too much text, non-consistent structure and unclear pictures.The poster proposal is limited to 10.000 characters (with spaces) or 5 pages. The official languages of the Student poster session are English and Slovene.
Your poster has two goals:
- to attract attention
- exchange the message of your poster with the other conference participantS
Concepts of efficient poster design:
fast (shallow) reading would take 3-4 minutes
- the reader will usually be concentrated no more than 6-8 minutes
- include text, tables, graphs, photos and schemes in order to make communication more precise and smooth
- if you have opportunity to print professional poster – do it. Otherwise build your poster piecewise with segments of A4 and A3 paper sheets
- the panel for your poster will have dimension 90 cm x 180 cm. Fill entire area but consider several sections and columns to fit introduction, methods results, discussion and references.
- use simple font for title (for example Arial or Times New roman) with approximate size of 72. Your poster title should be generally readable from up to 10 m distance
- use simple font for body text (for example Arial or Times New roman) with approximate size of 20 to 24
- use no more than two different fonts and simple color scheme. Too much colors will probably diminish your message
- participants will not be attracted with excellent research followed by poor presentations
