Poster Presentation Guidelines
The Poster/Infographic
In a Poster Presentation, attendees come to you to hear about and discuss your project. Presenters prepare a poster, infographic, or slide deck to illustrate what your work is about. Your poster should convey the essence of your message through visuals and text. In your poster/infographic/slide deck, consider these rhetorical moves:
- Describe the problem or question that you studied
- Demonstrate why that problem or question is important
- Discuss strategies to address the problem
- Use titles, introductions, and headings to announce your topic and to motivate your audience to want to know more.
- Use quotes, visuals, bulleted lists, and short paragraphs to make and emphasize your points. In effect, the poster/infographic “talks” for you.
