Neuroscience Poster Design

A neuroscience poster is not a page

from a scientific journal! It must be
interesting, it has to borrow something
from the media prints.

A poster is made to present your work in a

crowed room , with people with a cofee
in one hand, talking already to a collegue.
I'll not discuss here about the text editing,
or how to be concise when saying something
in a scientific poster.

In a discussion with a neuroscientist a few days

ago (and also a year ago), this topic was debated.
He said to me that a poster must be simple, with
a few colors, titles highlighted by blue ( or other
color) border. Images & text must be separated
and this two components must have separate

areas in the poster. Doesn't look to you as an old,
dusty highschool uniforme? I'll name this "the
old and dusty school poster".

The two posters have the same

text content and similar graphics.
in the original format the two posters
have the same dimensions.

 A good poster talks about

your work and about you.

 A good layout means

respect for the public.
