POSTERS

Posters will be on display Monday through Friday. Please keep in mind the following considerations when designing a poster:

• Poster boards will be 4 feet (1.2 m) high by 4 feet (1.2 m) wide with usable space being a few inches smaller on each side. The length can be up to 6 feet, where the extent beyond 4 feet hangs off the bottom of the poster board.
• Please make the displays so they are clearly visible from a distance of 4 feet (1.2 m). We recommend that you use 24-point or larger font sizes, and use a simple font (like Arial).
• Poster boards can be used with pushpins or Velcro. A supply of pushpins will be available for your use.
• Remember that poster presentations are primarily a visual medium and plan your presentation carefully to convey your intended message. A copy of the Detonation Symposium paper pinned to the board, even if the font size is increased, is not effective at conveying your message.
• Keep any explanatory text close to the figure it explains.
• Include a concise summary statement or take-away message.
