Poster Printing 101 for Students

Often, students are provided with opportunities to present research work in school fairs and university conferences. Sometimes, the most popular of the research work presented is not due to good work, but rather the most attractive and well made poster. If you are a student and about to start with your poster printing for your research project, then this article can provide you with some guidelines to help you.

There are six significant components that you need to understand and do well for your poster printing project: (1) your content, (2) your design, (3) the software you’re going to use, (4) how you present your content, and (5) how you present your images.

(1) Content – This is the most significant element in your poster printing project. Before you could even dream of your design, you should know what you want to show in your content. With a limited space, don’t put everything in your poster. Instead, decide on what is most important and focus on that.

And don’t even think of presenting your research work as a thesis or a journal article. This is a mistake students often make because they want to make a big impression. By trying to come out as someone intelligent, you often make the mistake of creating a lengthy description of your work.

You should remember that people have a hard time reading a lengthy explanation during poster viewing. So I suggest that you limit your report to an abstract or a summary that explains your work in just a few seconds. Don’t put your whole research paper on your poster. But do provide instead a copy of your work for more detailed information.

(2) Design – Include in your design the size and shape of your poster. These will depend on the specifications provided in the conference or poster viewing.

A well designed poster printing project has a sound and orderly visual flow of the elements found in your poster. Using arrows and numbers will go a long way in helping your viewers understand your research poster’s flow of idea. And instead of writing all your content, create a visual presentation by incorporating charts and graphs to further explain your results.

(3) Software – There are several software available that can help you simplify your poster printing. There are even softwares that allow you to create modular boxes that you can use to position your ideas.

(4) Text – Your content depends on the fonts or text you’re going to use. Your text should not only be legible but most importantly, it should be readable. Your content would not be effective if your readers can’t read your text. Moreover, make sure that you present your text in such a way that your reader would know what your research work is all about in just a few seconds of scanning your poster. If possible, present your information in bullets or number sequence.

By the way, don’t forget to spell check and proofread your content. Nothing is more annoying for a reader than a content that is spelled wrong and the grammar sucks.

(5) Graphics – Use images, pictures, graphs and even flow charts to explain your work. These things can make your research poster more readable and acceptable. Many software can help you choose the most appropriate graphics for your poster printing project. Or you could always rely on print pictures and you could just paste them throughout your poster.

Now you’re ready to print your posters. If you have the time and money, you could have a poster printing company to do the job for you. However, if you’re constrained with a student budget, you could very well utilize a personal printer (yours or a borrowed one) to provide you with your very own poster printing project.

I have to do a 20 minute presentation about the circulatory system. What are some cool ways/facts to fill time?

Its up to us on how to do it, charts, posters, real organs, pictures, talking, slide show (you get the point)... and i need to talk for 20 minutes.... how does someone do a 20 minutes presentation, i need help! facts, fun things to do, anything please!!!

I suggest shooting a video. Why? It's immediately engaging, fresh, and exciting, and your presentation will immediately stand out as one of the better ones.

The best reason is you can have other people in your vid with you whereas in a traditional presentation you're all by yourself. I've done it when I was in HS, and it blew my teacher's mind so much I had an extra 10 minutes of question time of students asking all about it.

Infographic of the Day: The Seasonal Food Calendar
An easy-to-use chart for finding a low-carbon shopping list. Eating vegetables in season makes sense , because the amount of energy used to get a blueberry from a neighboring state is a tiny fraction of one flown in from Chile. Local veggies will likely taste better, too. But grocery stores don't make it easy. The solution is a food calender, and this is the most intuitive one we've seen ...
