How to Design a Poster
- "Extensive, imaginative use of captioned illustrations, photographs, graphs or other types of visually appealing material is the point of a poster presentation. Please do not simply mount the text of your paper as a "poster." It will not be effective in this medium." (http://www.aaanet.org/mtgs/poster.htm)
