    your whole paper on the poster

    and space properly

Guidelines - Font
  • No smaller than 20pt
  • Title should be at least 60pt
  • Be careful of fancy, elaborate, script or any
    font that may be hard to read from a
    distanceremember that simpler is almost always
    better

    poster

    related to your specific topic and is not too
