Unit 11: Oral Communication - Poster presentations
Title
Check your module guidelines but you will probably need to include: the title of the project, name(s), degree title, year of study and calendar year.
- The title should be readable from 5–6 metres away.
- Use abbreviations if appropriate and clear.
- There are no rules about positioning of the title. Decide if you will justify the text of the title to the left or in the centre. (Research has shown that the viewer's eyes tend to keep left when reading or viewing a web page)
Title fonts
- Use a simple, easy to read font. A sans serif style, such as Verdana, Helvetica or Arial is ideal.
- Use boldface and CAPITALS for the title itself. Capital letters should be about 15mm tall.
- Use bold and mixed upper and lower case for the authors’ names.
- Use plain text (no bold) for main text
- Captions on figures and drawings should be 4 or 5 mm tall.
