Yet, sometimes, even the most brilliant results can be obscured by poor layout or design. Communications expert Tim Miller will share the basic rules of good poster design and show you some of the most effective tools and techniques for creating technical posters with quality and clarity. Numerous examples of good and bad poster design will be critically reviewed. You will leave this session armed with the skills to guarantee that your next scientific poster will stand out in a crowd.
