Purpose of Creating the Poster

• You need academic poster that captures your
  selected audience's attention and stimulate
  interest in your study region. In this regard, it
  is not like an academic essay, as it seeks to
  connect your study project using colorful
  graphics in a short and concise way to gain
  attention. A powerful key message should be
  conveyed through the poster. They can serve as a
  tool to raise awareness of an issue.

Serve Your Audience

• If you understand your crowd, it is simpler to
  communicate thoughts effectively. Find out who's
  going to attend your presentation. Will they be
  members of the public in your sector, people from
  other areas, or something in between? Think about
  your selected audience's current understanding of
  your study project. Before thinking about what
  data to include, it is essential to know whether
  or not they know your terminology and study
  methods. People outside of your field may need
  assistance to see the larger image or to
  understand the importance of your results. Do not
  frustrate your crowd with an excessively long
  presentation.

Content to Be Included

• Keep in mind, be selective! Do not attempt to
  cover the whole study project. Focus on the most
  relevant elements for your selected audience. It
  shouldnt include content thats irrelevant, but
  instead must include content related your study
  project in some manner, including graphics and
  text. For additional data, make sure to include
  web links, references and contact details. Talk
  about what you have done, discuss what you have
  discovered and concluded why your findings are
  crucial.

Going Beyond Words

• For the transmission of data, your poster must
  include effective visual imagery. Besides your
  name, the graphic appearance is what individuals
  use to determine their interest. Use pictures,
  numbers, timelines, and graphs to say your tale
  for your audience. Most observers want to listen
  to you while looking at beautiful pictures. Allow
  the focus to be on the visually interesting
  sections of your poster.
