INSPIRE 14 POSTER GUIDELINES PLANNING YOUR POSTER

Plan a poster that contains images and text, visible clearly from a distance and easily understandable to the viewer Plan with a smooth sequence of information you wish to present Images you wish to use should not be pixilated Remember visual aids are such as graphs, charts are more attractive and viewer-friendly than plain text

TECHNICALITIES
Portrait, A1 size poster, made on flex Send it in a digital format (jpg, jpeg) Use images at high resolution

TITLE AND LAYOUT

Title should be brief but should give an idea of what would come next. Title and main points should be prominent like bold or underlined. People will stop to see your poster only if they find the title clear yet intriguing The information you put in should be in any sequence of your choice such as columns. It should be obvious for the viewer to figure out where to look next Make an eye catching layout but do not make it too congested, edit irrelevant information. Use graphs/charts/trees etc. to display data or technical information. A template is attached with this document.

OBJECTIVITY
This is the most important part. Your poster although should describe well about your internship experience answering questions such as How did you find it What did you in it Why did you do it What projects/fields did you work on and how But apart from being descriptive, it should be objective meaning it should give idea of what did you achieve from it and how has it made you better than before answering questions such as What knowledge and experience did you gain from it How is this helpful and beneficial to your education/ learning and thinking How does it make you more productive in your field Your poster should have a conclusion or goal deducible by the viewer, although you will give a presentation, your poster should speak its language too!
