Document preparation: poster presentations

Style suggestions:

• Use large lettering for good readability at a distance of about 2 m (at least font size 24).
• Try to reduce the amount of text as much as possible by being concise and to the point. Use enumerations.
• Clearly highlight main results and conclusions.
• Do not include complete derivations, only provide starting hypotheses and final results (if possible).
• Do not use an excessive amount of colour, and choose colours for maximum contrast (e.g. do not use yellow or light green letters on a white background, or brown letters on a black background).
• Use large graphics with thick lines and large markers (dots). Always check that the axis labels are clearly visible, legible and intelligible.
• Provide units of measurement for all quantitative items (including axis labels), and indicate error bars where possible.
