Poster tips

At this ICA I will be presenting a poster, for the very first time. Usually poster is a format widely used in scientific disciplines, but social science conferences start to have poster sessions recently to save time, including the ICA and Sunbelt. I think some studies can actually be explicated better by posters rather than by traditional verbal presentations.

Since I am a newbie of this presentation format, I googled about how to make a good poster and found some really interesting articles. The most comprehensive, and funny, guide of scientific poster making could be found here. Although it says “scientific” posters, most of the advice are equally applicable to non-science posters as well.
