Design and layout15LayoutOrienta&on can be portrait or landscape.Check the conference poster guidelines for size requirements. If possible, useA1 (841x594mm) or A0 (1189x841mm).Maintain visual balance:∗ Aim for a symmetrical layout.∗ Line up edges of text panels and graphical elements.∗ Include a good balance of text and graphical elements. Ideally, a postershould contain a mixture of text, charts and/or graphs, and photographicelements. Posters that contain only dense blocks of text are dull forreaders and unappealing to assessors, who o1en have to look at between10 and 50 posters. Aim to include at least one graph and one picture.∗ Use space effec&vely—don’t cram everything in, and don’t leave swathesof wasted space.Use visual grammar—a graphical hierarchy of heading and text size to help readers iden&fy the mostimportant parts of your poster.English is read from top to boom, le1 to right. Organise your poster accordingly. Top-to-boomorganisa&on also enables two or more people to read your poster at the same &me without ge?ng ineach other’s way.Consider using organisa&onal cues such as sec&on numbers.Figure 5: Symmetrical versus asymmetrical layoutA symmetrical design thatuses space effec&velyAn asymmetrical designthat wastes space
