Guidelines For Preparing and Submitting Digital Posters-2
Guidelines For Preparing and Submitting Digital Posters-2
The digital poster should be attractive, well-organized, self-explanatory, and should present only
the main ideas. Do not overwhelm your audience with unnecessary data or explanations. The
discussion should give the interpretation and significance of the results. Try to give the viewer one or
two important conclusions to take away from the session. The following specific points may help in
the preparation of the posters:
2. FILE TYPE. Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) and Portable Document Format (PDF)
3. SIZE. Consider the big square slide at 46cm x46 cm and the following resolution.
o PDF 300 dpi
o JPEG 300 dpi per slide (4 slides)
4. TEXT LETTERING. In typesetting the text, choose a simple typeface. Use upper- and lower-
case standard letters. Text should be readable even when zoomed and not pixelated.
5. TEXT COLORS. Good two-color combinations are black on white, black on yellow, black
on pink, dark red on white, dark blue on white and dark blue on yellow. Dark type on light,
with a plain background is easiest to read.
6. ILLUSTRATIONS. Photographs and graphs should not pixelate when zoomed. Do not clutter
with unnecessary details. Diagrams and graphs should have no more than 6 lines in contrasting
colors. Graphs are preferable to tables.
7. CONTENT. Give a brief “Introduction” stating the background and purpose of the study.
Include key experiments only or main “Methodology” Only highlights of “Results” should be
presented. End with a brief “Conclusion.” Minimize words while maximizing the visuals
(see illustration for suggested content division)

8. TITLE AND AUTHOR. The specific role or contribution of each of the author/s should be
stated at the last slide. The title and author/s should be the same as in the submitted abstract.
9. ORGANIZATION. The design should flow sequentially from one slide to the next. Numbers
or arrows may be used to help the eye move from item to item in the correct order, left to right,
top to bottom. Do not clutter with either text or artwork.
10. SUBMISSION JPEG and PDF SCIENTIFIC POSTERS. The digital scientific poster must
be emailed on or before 12 May 2023. At 2023abstracts@gmail.com. The following details
