General:
Posters should be self-explanatory,
allowing the viewer to enjoy and understand your
presentation even in your absence. Most likely, several
individuals will be looking at your poster at one time. If
your poster is prepared with
simple labels, large print, and a clear
sequence from beginning to end, the viewer will be able
to follow the ideas presented. Funding is
available from TWU for the printing of your poster through
one of the two on-campus printing services.

application form to request funding.

Each figure or table should
have a heading of one or two lines in large, bold letters.
-
For readability, font
should be at least 18 point.

Keep "clipart" to a minimum.
