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 an opportunity to print your 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 the 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 many colors will probably diminish your message.
- Participants will not be attracted to with excellent research followed by poor presentations.
