Poster Guidelines

From time to time, MaxIQ Space sponsors poster sessions at conferences and exhibitions. Here are some generic guidelines to assist with poster development.

General Requirements

Poster Dimensions:
The maximum width for the poster is 24 inches (60cm). The height should also be reasonable (e.g., 36 inches/09cm) to fit standard poster boards. Ensure that all text and graphics fit within these dimensions.
Orientation:
Vertical orientation is preferred unless the content specifically requires a horizontal layout.

A brief summary of the project or program, maximum 100-150 words.

Design Guidelines

Fonts:

Images/Graphics:
Use high-quality images, diagrams, and graphs. Make sure they are directly relevant to the content.
Layout:
Use columns, boxes, or sections to organize content. Make sure the flow is logical and easy to follow.
Interactivity:
If possible, include QR codes or other interactive elements that lead to videos, websites, or additional resources.
Citations:
Cite all data, images, or content not originally produced for this project.

These guidelines should help create effective and informative posters for presentation. Good luck!
