Poster Guidelines
1. Size of the poster is A1 with portrait/vertical orientation.

2. Your poster should include:

 Title
 Author(s), with affiliations and emails

3. The UMT logo should be included at the top-left of the poster.

4. Student’s photo is encouraged to be included at the top-right of the poster.

5. Since your poster is a representation of a research study, you should include the following
sections:
 Introduction and objective
 Research/Case study: problem statement, context and importance
 Materials, instruments or methods
 Results / Outcomes/ Expected result
 Conclusions and/or discussion
 Acknowledgements

6. Keep text brief. Report only key aspects of each section. It is not advisable to display the
entire text from a manuscript. Too much detail detracts from the primary message of the text.

7. Keep figures simple. Convey only one idea per figure, table, or photograph. Figures from
publications, theses, or dissertations normally do not make good visuals.

8. Text and figures should be readable to someone standing at a distance of three feet.

9. Charts and graphs should clearly show what you want the audience to see.

10. Use appropriate blank space between words, sections, and figures.

11. Use appropriate and compatible colors for fonts, backgrounds, graphics, and matting.

12. Simple typefaces are preferable to fancy fonts. Bold type may be effective on headings.
