IMPRS-gBGC course Poster presentations 2014
1. Description
The two-day course of 16 hours by Andrew Davis addresses the following subjects which are important for successful presentations of scientific posters:
- Introduction: what are posters for ?
- Defining the message and defining the audience
- Principles of Design: space, structure, colour – and not a “paper on the wall”
- Design outside the frame, the poster as picture
- Attracting customers: hunters and grazers; bring them in, beauty, bribes and cheek
- Don’t just stand there: engaging the customer
- Contact mechanisms: design for photos, phone readable details
- Play acting and videos: practice makes perfect
