![]() ![]() They have so many possibilities to create amazing images for all the research they do. I think geoscientists have no excuse to make boring posters. Kind to the eye, dragging people in because they want to know more, maybe even daring,provoking. The goal of your poster is to attract people so you can share your research. But please, pretty please, have a good thought about how you want your poster to look like. So dear, that I actually design the layout of my posters before I think about any content. Layout, or the way a poster looks, is something that is very dear to me. Pick out the key points of a paper and think of how you can present them in a poster format.Ī poster that could be improved at the EGU. There is no way you can adequately put a thesis (which often consists of work worth several papers.) onto a poster. Just noooo (sorry, but everytime I see such a felony I die a little bit inside □ ). Literally, I have seen printed out papers than then covered the space a wonderful poster should have covered. So many times I have seen how people put a paper on a poster. Make sure you got something to write down ideas that come up during discussions! What are posters not for Your poster will have much more impact if people remember 1 or 2 key points afterwards than if they leave with confused thoughts about 5+ ideas that were somehow related to your work! Posters are also great to start a discussion about some research that is not finished yet and that might need some more input/ideas. But please do! And if those points cover very different areas, limit yourself to 1-2. It can be really hard if you spent three years of time researching a certain phenomena and now you want to show off all your good work to limit yourself to 3-4 key points. To improve the chances for a good communication your poster has to be attractive to the by-walker because what does it help if you have the best ideas in world but no one to discuss them with? The point behind posters is to get your key points across and then start a discussion. Ideally, the communication should go both ways, your poster and you reach out to the viewer and transfer your ideas to him/her while he/her then can feed you his/her thoughts about your research. Posters, or poster presentations, are a way to communicate you research to fellow scientists (and in some cases the public as well). I want to emphasise that criticism is only directed at the layout of the posters and by no means at the science behind the posters or the authors! If you find your poster here and want it removed let me know. ![]() I remember that last year I was disappointed as well, so if only one person reads this before next years conference and it helped them to improve their poster a bit I’d be very happy! I am going to show some posters from the EGU. After seeing some of the posters here at EGU I decided that a little guide on poster creation might be good. ![]()
