Sections and Organization of Content

• Break down the content into distinct sections, depending on your subject area and topic.

• The extent of your sections will depend also on your subject and topic

• Arrange the sections in a way that follows the "top to bottom" and "left to right" conventions.

• Good posters will have:
  • Title: short and catchy to make a passing viewer stop and want to look at your poster.
  • Your name, your program of study, and your school/institution name.

Depending on your topic and content, the following would be common sections on an academic poster, but you don't need to include all of these examples:

• Introduction: Abstract, Thesis Statement, Background, Hypothesis, Purpose, Objective(s)
• Research: Materials, Method, Models, Analysis, Results
• Conclusion: Conclusion, Discussion, Recommendations, Implications, Further Research
• Acknowledgments, Contact Information, References
