title: The art of poster presentation.
abstract: Need to attract attention with a captivating poster? This article provides helpful suggestions for the design and production of a poster. Layout, colour, balance, lettering and the use of pictures are considered. Details are also provided of the Research-poster Appraisal Tool (R-PAT) developed by Bushy (1991). The authors recommend that poster presenters use the tool to self-assess effectiveness prior to presentation. The tool can also be used by conference organisers for rating displayed posters.
