How do I create a scientific poster?

Rough Draft

Try to produce a full size rough draft in advance to catch any unforeseen errors. Only print a miniature version of your poster on letter sized paper to get a very rough sense of layout changes.

Peer Revisions

Ask friends to critique the full size rough draft while you are not present. Using Post-Its that you provide, ask them to comment on the following:

• Word count
• Prose style
• Flow
• Figures
• Font size
• Spelling

Handouts

We specialize in large-format printing and do not print handouts. Our focus is on printing beautiful, high-quality scientific research posters.
