Hi buddies, in a few days I hope to be in Guadalajara presenting a poster about the work that was accepted at 14th Iberoamerican Congress of Pattern Recognition. For this reason I must do it and I started to design it. So, I show the preliminar design to give me your opinion to improve it. Thank you very much.
The image is avaliable also in Flickr here.
I think the design is pretty good. In general, colors and fonts are ok. However, I think you have included a lot of text, which is not a good idea at all. You can manage to illustrate the more important features of your work, and, if somebody else wants to learn more about your topic, you can solve his doubts through the personal interaction.
ReplyDeleteI suggest you to reduce the amount of text included in the poster. Try to summarize and to include only the most important sentences. For instance, in the *Visual Pattern Analysis* section, you can remove all the paragraphs and instead, preserve only the subtitles with a larger font size. Also, to organize the most important things using bullets.
I found these two links with very useful advices:
http://www.ncsu.edu/project/posters/NewSite/
http://www.swarthmore.edu/NatSci/cpurrin1/posteradvice.htm
The first one, with short and concrete concepts and suggestions (as a poster should be ;) and the second one with a complete guide, including even advices on how to dress the day of the poster session.
The font size for general text contents is quite small. Try to fix it to about a half of the titles' size. Doing it, you can see that the space is really limited.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with Juan Carlos, the poster has to be more concise. I would replace the paragraphs by a list of bullets that express the ideas in a clear and concrete way.
ReplyDeleteRemember that the full paper is included in the proceedings, so you don't need to give all the details in the poster, just the main ideas.
One important thing that is missing is the biological problem that is being modeled. It would be a good idea to describe the source of the images, what they are used for and the conceptual labels provided by the pathologist.
I like the graphics, so keep them.
Publish the new version as soon as you can to give you more feedback.
