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
