How to make a research poster? What are the principles of poster design?
How to report academic posters (1) is concise. One page can be understood as a resume of scientific research content, and the workload of undergraduate scientific research is very suitable for making posters; (2) Good visual effect. Through color matching, chart arrangement and simple text description, visitors can intuitively see the focus of the study; (3) Good viewing experience. Compared with lengthy research papers, research posters can save the audience's time and improve their interest and viewing quality. Learn immediately and sell immediately. Experience sharing of making conference posters by Shuobo. "Nana Xi is my good friend, and the posters of the last two conferences have won prizes (clap your hands and clap your hands)! When she and I showed off in an ostentatious manner, it suddenly occurred to me that the official WeChat account could open a column to share experiences. Just invite her to write the first column of Shuobo! Hee hee! I wish you all a smooth scientific research! You are also welcome to come to my backstage to contribute! " First of all, I want to thank Zhang Xiaojing for giving me this opportunity to share this experience. I feel very honored (Zhang Xiaojing: Ha ha ha ha me too). Actually, as for making posters, I was Xiao Bai before I was a doctor, and I didn't make any serious posters. The earliest poster was an undergraduate student. Zhang Xiaojing and I made a propaganda newspaper, which was full of petals and the names of all my classmates. At that time, I was really proud (Zhang Xiaojing: The past was hard to remember). In my first semester as a doctor, I made my first poster. At first, I was really imaginative. I think how cool, how special and even how colorful are the most important things. When the first draft was handed over to the boss, the evaluation was: "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, come on, make a good change". Photo 1. Under the patient guidance of my boss, I tried my best to revise the first draft of two editions. Figure 2 is my final version. My boss tried his best to guide me on this poster because I really don't know anything and have no experience. My boss was very satisfied with this poster and thought it should win the prize, but he didn't win it in the end. Anyway, the feedback I received was unreasonable (I always thought my stuff was the best). Figure 2. The second poster, 1, was completed in August this year by participating in the AmericanChemistrySociety (the one on the right in the above picture) and won the first prize. When I finished the first draft of this poster for my boss, he felt very satisfied and hardly made any changes, so we decided on the final version and recorded it once (because it was a Virtualmeeting, we recorded the explanation of the poster and uploaded it). The feedback from the judges is also a good applause (and a proud face, I like others to praise me. Zhang Xiaojing: I know that. So based on the experience of making posters twice, I think the following points are quite important. 1. _ ㄒㄒㄒㄒㄒㄒㄒㄒㄒㄒㄒㄒㄒㄒㄒ The mold is embedded, and the mold is beautiful. Use the key information in the sentence to form phrases, which are concise and highlight the key points, and are not cumbersome. I don't recommend copying papers or articles because there are too many traces and words. 6. _ _ _1π 985 Practice is very important. Some readers may not want to see the whole poster, so your explanation is very important. The above six points are more important that I can think of now. I think the second point is really the most important. It's really important to tell a complete story. To tell the truth, the overall framework of the poster is mostly the same, and all parts (from introduction to thanks) are almost fixed. The key to success is how to convey information effectively and completely, so as not to let readers give up halfway. So the poster is concise and focused! Zhang Xiaojing: School begins! Come on, everyone. What are the principles of poster design? A good poster should respect the audience as intelligent people and give them a visual experience. As long as there is an opportunity, posters should be short and concise, full of personality, to express their ideas. Posters are part of our visual culture. As very common "symbols", they change our environment and tell our times. Even so, the expression of posters is international and understandable in all cultures. A successful poster must follow the following ten simple rules: 1 Clear goals and objectives will vary according to the situation, nature, content and intention of the work to be displayed. Some posters will be used repeatedly after they are designed, just like letting participants know that * * * enjoys resources. Others may have been used at only one meeting and then put on the shelf. So, before you start preparing your poster, ask yourself the following questions: What do you want those who have seen your poster to do? Is it about the content of the poster? Or do you think you learned a lot before you left, and you plan to start trying it yourself? Or do you want to cooperate with you? Everything mentioned above, or other things not mentioned, depends on the style of your poster accordingly. Ten seconds to show your achievements. Because some conferences will show hundreds of posters, you must try to attract attention. The first impression is very important, because it lets the people standing in front of the poster know the core content you want to express, just as it takes a short time to arouse their interest before someone goes out to take the elevator. The problem is that you must "show" (sell) your things. One way is to throw a conclusive question and then put forward your best solution around it; At the same time, once the question you ask is the motivation of the research, the poster's focus will shift to solving that problem clearly and concisely. The title is very important. The title is a good way to "show" your content. This may be the only thing that attendees see before they know what your poster is about. The title can make them want to take a closer look. The title can put forward a conclusive question, clarify the scope of the study or contain a new discovery. To sum up, the title should be short and easy for the general audience to understand. Headlines are equivalent to newspaper headlines-short, vivid and striking. 4 don't consider the approval of the poster, and don't take the approval of the poster as the approval of your own work. People need to attend meetings to ensure adequate economic income. Many participants funded by the project will only attend the meeting when asked to speak; Among the many participants, after all, only a few gave speeches. How to solve this contradiction? Introduce the poster form, through which everyone can speak. In other words, your poster is just adopted and not supported. Therefore, in order to get the support of the colleagues who participated in the exhibition together, you need to do a good job in scientific research and show it on the poster appropriately. Many rules for writing a good paper are also applicable to the production of posters. First, judge your audience and prepare a suitable poster range and content depth. If there are non-professionals in the meeting, you should consider catering to them. Just as the abstract of a paper needs to contain the purpose, hypotheses to be tested, main results and conclusions, so should your poster. High-quality posters should be unique, not only related to the paper. The content of the paper covers far more materials than the poster shows. Posters require you to extract the essence of the content without losing information and logical framework. Posters need to be far-sighted but show your strengths. Posters can be used as copies of relevant papers, supplementary materials and other manuscripts. Posters make you more adventurous. Usually only the title or at most the abstract of the poster can be published, that is, it is widely disseminated. Most of the time, they may never see each other again. So this gives you more opportunities than traditional literature, but it won't be part of the permanent record. So we should make good use of these characteristics. 7 Layout and layout are very important. Pop musician KeithRichards said very well in an interview with DerSpiegel, "If you are an oil painter, then what you value most is to rely on a blank canvas. A good painter never fills all the space, but he always leaves some blanks. My canvas is silent. " The poster author's canvas is blank. From beginning to end, from a concise framework to another logical framework, guide the attention of passers-by. Unlike literary works, it is arranged linearly page by page. Poster readers can wander freely between pages, just like being dragged to the front of the poster board at will. So use arrows, numbers to guide readers, or any other method to make them move from one logical step to another. You can try to get these clues in an unusual and eye-catching way. Find a suitable framework in other people's posters and learn from their methods. Finally, remember-don't use words less than 24, and make sure that the core idea can be found at a glance. The content is very important, but it must be concise. Every part of the poster should revolve around the central idea. The content must conform to the form of a reliable scientific report: clear and accurate expression and concise text. Because posters are limited by inherent space, the latter is particularly important for making posters. Introducing first-class painting materials into posters can sometimes turn chaotic data into coherent and convincing stories. Elaborate tables or illustrations are often clearer than long speeches. This is mainly to "make complex sentences clear" with pictures, rather than to express them with difficult artistic effects. Illustrations should be viewed from the macro surface and micro details. For example, a big table is magnificent and can display a large number of different kinds of samples. Small watches can provide powerful details for those who need them. Similarly, a chart can have an obvious trend line (to clearly express its meaning) and an error bar chart to represent the details of specific point values. At the same time, after the abstract, there should be a clear conclusion, because this is where visitors will browse. Only after reading these, will they continue to read the method part and the subsequent results part. Posters should reflect the producer's personality. Posters are different from boring, rigid and humanized paper. You should regard the poster as an extension of your personality charm, and use it to attract passers-by and make them want to read deeply or talk to you directly. The beginning of scientific research cooperation is often due to some personal interests rather than the same scientific research hobbies. Even if you weren't standing next to the poster, your photos can not only make people find you at the meeting, but also show your hobbies or interests and start a conversation. The influence of 10 posters can be extended whether during the exhibition or after considerable efforts. Don't expect to gain the greatest influence on the day of giving a speech, because it requires a good interaction between the speaker and the audience. By trying to attract the audience, careful readers will attract others. Don't disturb the readers, let them see for themselves, which requires full preparation according to Law 2. After reading it, let all the audience start thinking immediately. Don't let the visitors wait for your attention. Keep eye contact with every visitor. Make every participant feel that you are easy to contact. Copies of relevant documents and posters printed on standard paper can be distributed. Work should be more mature and diverse. For example, as another form of distribution, you can upload posters to the Internet and ensure that the connection is valid. Make a clear list of your email address and demographic information, and provide a registration list for those who come to see the poster. Because visitors seem to remember you more easily than the content of the poster, you should make yourself easier to remember. As the main worker appearing on the poster, you should be focused, open, meticulous and confident, but don't be arrogant and provocative, and leave enough space and time for visitors-because they should read your poster with their own judgment and rhythm; If visitors ask questions, please introduce your work simply and generously, because this is your chance to get feedback before the results are published. At the same time, you'd better walk in front of your own poster instead of looking at the speech all the time.
