Lettering
· Kindly use both UPPER and lower case for general content, as all-capital text is difficult to read. It is recommended to use minimum 14 Times New Roman font style for the content of the poster.

Content of the poster
· Make sure that the specific sections are easy to locate in the poster.
· Try to keep the text easy to read and concise. The poster should have a clear message, a logical layout and be easy to comprehend.
· Avoid the use of full sentences. Rather use short text in bullet point format.
· Avoid using watermarks that may detract from the readability of your poster.
Illustrations
· Illustrations are the most important part of the poster and will attract the most attention. Colorful charts and graphs are the easiest to read. Explanatory illustrations should be used instead of text whenever possible.
· Use only static images. Do not include animation or any videos.
· Try to utilise the space of your poster creatively to attract the audience and make sure the images are easy to understand.
