What makes a good research poster?

A typical research poster template contains a combination of pictures, tables, graphs , and other elements used in presentations. This type of template is also known as a scientific poster template, an academic poster template or a science poster template. At conferences, researchers stand by their poster so they can talk about the topic more effectively.

If you want to create an effective research poster, make sure that it should:

• Be completely readable from up to 10 feet away.
• It has a short title which catches the interest of the audience.
• It has a word count of 300-800.
• The text is both concise and clear.
• Make it easier to read by using headlines, numbering, and bullets.
• Use colors, fonts, and graphics effectively.
• It has a clean and consistent layout.
• It includes your name, the name of your institution, and acknowledgments .

Components of a research poster

Most people who create research or academic poster templates organize the information into sections. Each section contains paragraphs, charts, photos, and other elements. Each section that you plan to include must have its own purpose. Also, make sure that the viewers would have familiarity with these sections.

To make it easier for you, it’s best to organize all of the information on your template into these main components or sections:

• Introduction The elements in this section set the stage for the rest of your poster. Here, the readers learn more about your research giving them a better idea of what to expect. Condensed Abstract Background Hypothesis Purpose or Objectives
• Research This section contains all of the data you’ve collected through your research and the methods you used all throughout. It contains most of the “meat” of your template so make sure to think about this section carefully. Materials Methodology Analysis Models Results
• Conclusion Finally, this section is where you include the summary and analysis of your results. Recommendations Implications Discussion Acknowledgments Contact Information

You may choose to add more sections or elements depending on your needs. But these basic components are what the readers expect, therefore, you must pay special attention to them. Also, before creating your template, you must first answer these questions:

• What is your poster all about?
• Why do you need to create the poster? What do you hope to add to the discussion?
• What methods did you use during your research?
• What conclusions did you come to?
• What are your recommendations based on your research?

Most academic and science poster templates have columns which contain a few sections in each column. Readers go through these columns from top to bottom so you must organize the information this way. This gives your readers a clearer picture of the poster’s contents.

You can create your own research poster template or you can download starter templates and customize these according to your needs. Downloading a template makes it easier since you already have a structure to start with. But if you can’t find one which suits your preferences, you can make your own.

The layout of your research poster

Most types of research poster templates have similar components. There’s no standard when it comes to these types of posters. But when thinking of the layout, make sure that it’s both organized and logical. To help you out, here are some pointers to keep in mind:

• Size and orientation If you’re looking for a “standard size,” most people use 48-inches x 36-inches in landscape orientation. But if this is too small or too big for you, feel free to modify the size. Also, there’s no problem with using a portrait orientation if that works with your content.
• Background It’s important that your poster’s background doesn’t distract the viewers. This is why most people use white or other light colors for their backgrounds. You may also use subtle gradients as long as these don’t take any attention from the rest of the elements on your poster. What you should avoid are distracting colors, busy patterns or even photo backgrounds. If you want to use a dark color, you may want to use white color for your text to make it more readable.
• Styles of the title and headings The best posters allow the viewers to see the titles and headings clearly at a glance. These make it easier for the viewers to know what your poster is all about. Use boxes, strategic colors, bold text, and a lot of whitespaces to make sure that these elements standout.
• Fonts The main rule when it comes to fonts is to make sure that they’re readable. Beyond this, it’s already up to your own preferences. One good principle of design is to use a single font for the title and all the headings and a different font for the rest of the text. Also, make sure that all of the most important text on your poster can be clearly read from a normal distance. This way, even the viewers who aren’t right in front of your poster can read what’s written on it. Also, set a good spacing for the fonts as this adds to their readability.
• Colors The color scheme is an important element of your research poster template. Use colors which capture the attention of the viewers and emphasize the most important information too. It’s best to use the same colors as your own brand but this isn’t a requirement. If you want to choose different colors, you may want to opt for neutral colors and just one bold color which you may use sparingly.
• Alignment and whitespace If you want your poster to look professional, you must align all the elements well. This doesn’t mean that you should align all the elements on the left, the right or the center. You can use different alignments as long as you make sure that everything looks organized and there’s nothing out of place. Finally, you must also make sure that there’s enough whitespace between each of the elements in your poster design. There shouldn’t be any elements or text which are too close to each other as viewers who are far away can’t see these clearly. The more whitespace your poster has, the more you can emphasize the most important elements.

Design tips and guidelines for your research poster

At the very core, a research or scientific poster template serves as a visual representation of information which you’ve consolidated and organized into a format that’s easier to read. Ideally, viewers must understand the content of your poster in a matter of minutes. After all, they would probably move on if your template takes forever to read!

If you want to get the best results, make sure that your poster is well-designed, logical, and consistent. To help you out, here are some rules to keep in mind:

• Less is more When it comes to the design of your poster, you may want to go for a simpler layout instead of a loud, distracting one. Remember, this is an academic poster template. You don’t have to add cute graphics and other irrelevant elements to it. The simpler it is, the easier your viewers will understand it.
• Avoid clutter Cluttered posters aren’t appealing in the least. Using too many elements makes it difficult for viewers to find the most important information. Also, a cluttered poster makes it challenging to distinguish the sections from one another.
• Perform a final check before having the poster printed Before you have your poster printed, perform a final check on it. Make sure that everything looks great, you haven’t made any spelling or grammatical errors, and everything is easy to read and understand. As part of your final check, you may want to answer these questions: Is there a logical flow to all of the sections in the poster? Remember that all the sections must flow smoothly from start to finish. Is all the text easy to read? Make sure all of the text stands out, especially the title and all of the headings. Are all the images of a high-resolution? Zoom in to the images you’ve used to ensure their clarity and crispness. This is especially important if you plan to have a large-sized poster printed. Low-res files tend to get blurred or pixelated when printed in larger sizes. Will your viewers understand all of your data? Make sure that all non-text elements are easy to understand. If needed, include captions under them. Have you highlighted all of the most important information? This is important as well so that your viewers can look at all of the highlighted information to get a quick overview of the content of your poster.

Frequently Ask Questions?

How do our poster samples help.

An academic poster is a visual representation of a research study. Students are required to create a research poster at some stage of the degree programme.

A poster briefly summarizes your research, includes graphs, tables, and other visuals. It should be attractive and eye-catchy enough to grab your readers’ attention. To make your poster appealing and informative for your readers, use a mix of graphs, charts, figures, and plain text. Make sure that this mix is balanced to enhance your academic poster’s quality.

To help you understand how to balance text and visuals in a research poster, we have provided some  poster examples  on our website. All our examples use a mix of different visuals and plain text; yet, none of them looks crammed with information. The results and discussion section of the poster showcase graphs and charts that demonstrate significant trends and patterns.

Our  academic poster samples  will help you learn more about the structure of an academic poster. A poster usually consists of five or six sections; the usual sections of a dissertation. Alternatively, if your tutor has provided you with a specific format, make sure you follow the same structure.

Make use of appropriate colours and font to make your poster look standout. Avoiding using rainbow colours, or else the readability of the poster will be adversely affected. Stick to just three to four colours that are pleasing to the eye.

Font size and style for your text need to be clear and legible. You have limited space; sp the font size should not be too large or too small.

Check the poster to make sure the text and images are well aligned. All visuals should be aligned appropriately along with your text. If you are using images in your poster, make sure they are high-quality PNG images. Using low quality or clip art images will portray an unprofessional look.

Academic posters are typically developed on Microsoft PowerPoint or Adobe Suite.

Looking at our  poster examples , you will notice that each poster section presents brief yet comprehensive information.  Make use of headings and bullet points to highlight important information for the readers. Do not forget to focus on the flow of your data. It should be smooth and consistent.

Our  poster samples  will serve as a guide to help you complete your academic poster by yourself. If you need further guidance, we’re here to help! All our writers are highly qualified and can create a visually stunning educational sign for you, no matter your academic level and academic subject.

Get in touch with us , provide us with your requirements and have a professionally designed poster delivered to your email address before your deadline.

How long will my academic poster be?

A poster usually has five to six sections, but it is always recommended to follow your tutor’s guidelines.

Will my poster have graphic illustrations?

Of course, it will have that and a lot more. We usually use a mix of charts, illustrations, graphs, tables, figures and text when creating an academic poster.

Effective poster presentations.

An effective poster presentation and a good oral presentation share many qualities: it's important to know your audience and their needs, be confident of your purpose, and to convey your key message with impact. Poster presentations challenge you to communicate your research in a different way to oral presentations or written assignments.

Before you start, make sure you read the marking and assessment guidelines and follow them.

Here are some key things that make an effective poster:

• Attractive visual impact to entice people to read it
• A compelling title, interesting and intriguing enough to compel your audience’s attention
• A clear message that differentiates your research poster from others
• Good use of images and diagrams – a picture paints a thousand words in a restricted space
• An obvious reading order
• Audience interaction – is there something you want your audience to do, or think about, as a result of reading your poster?

This guide will cover planning and designing your poster presentation. We will also consider how poster presentations are assessed.

Poster Examples

While working on your poster, it is an excellent idea to take a look at what other people have done with the same format, to get a sense of what's possible. Below you will see some examples from both MCPHS faculty and students at other institutions.

Diaspora, Exile and Interreligious Dialogue (2024-2025)

This new project team is currently recruiting students (see the full list of recruiting teams). The deadline to apply is August 14 at 5 p.m. Please read the bullets below to learn about this team’s recruitment needs:

• All current Duke undergraduate students and current and incoming graduate students may apply 
• Priority will be given to students enrolled in courses in the  Transformative Ideas Program  and in the  Science and Religion in Public Life  Focus cluster

Please note that students who have already accepted a spot on a 2024-2025 Bass Connections team are not eligible to apply.

Jews, Christians and Muslims have lived for millennia in global diasporas, extending beyond nation-states. At different times, intervals and locations, members of all three religious communities experienced exile from their native lands. Each developed their own concept of return, restoration and healing. 

Israeli Jews and Muslim and Christian Palestinians are the most recent example of people who have undergone exile, live in diasporas and dream of return. But neither sees the exile of the other nor recognizes the other’s dream of restoration. 

Looking at Middle East politics, you would not know that these traditions developed in conversation. Religion is used to deepen national rifts. Efforts to develop a political solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict endeavor to sideline religion instead of using ample religious resources for mutual recognition and healing, founded in the affinities of diaspora, exile and restoration. 

Project Description

This project centers religious dialogue as a pivotal component of the path to peace by exploring the affinities of Jewish, Christian and Muslim conceptualizations of exile. Team members will work together to:

• Develop a body of research on Christian, Jewish and Muslim conceptual affinities of catastrophe, exile and restoration.
• Initiate campus interreligious dialogue, facilitating meaningful conversation on Israel and Palestine.
• Bring Duke research, teaching and interreligious dialogue to other academic communities via a week-long joint summer school and international conference organized by the International Network for Interreligious Research and Education (INIRE).

Team members will collectively engage with foundational texts of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, to learn how they engage with philosophical traditions on freedom, justice, reconciliation, human suffering and healing. Students will then launch research projects extending across disciplinary approaches, from literary to historical to social interpretive to constructive. Projects will seek to build bridges and highlight shared predicaments across traditions.

Anticipated Outputs

Research papers; publications; digital and multimedia stories; engaged dialogue and scholarship on interreligious exile and the Middle East

Student Opportunities

Ideally, this project team will include 2-4 graduate students and 4-8 undergraduate students with interests in religion and curiosity and empathy for religious traditions other than their own. 

Priority will be given to students enrolled in the courses of the Transformative Ideas Program and in the Science and Religion in Public Life  Focus cluster. Undergraduate students who have demonstrated scholarly interest in the Abrahamic traditions, and graduate students engaged with exile and diaspora are also encouraged to apply.   

In Fall 2024, this team will meet biweekly on Fridays from 8:30-10 a.m.  Students on the team will gain familiarity with Middle East cultures, acquire new conceptual tools to navigate religion and culture, and learn to engage constructively in debates on the Middle East. They will also have the opportunity for international scholarly engagement through the INIRE summer school and conference, gaining tools for lifelong engagement as global citizens.

• Spring 2025: Engage in small group learning; present research
