How to Create Effective Posters & Slides (Quick Guide)

• Tell them what you鈥檒l cover 鈫� present the core 鈫� summarize clearly.
• Aim for 鈮�6 lines per slide and 鈮�6 words per line; prefer key phrases over sentences.
• Large fonts (鈮�24鈥�48 pt), strong contrast, uncluttered backgrounds.
• Use figures/diagrams instead of dense tables; highlight only the data that matter.
• Rehearse to hit time; pause between sections; avoid filler words (鈥渦m,鈥� 鈥渓ike鈥�).
• Face the audience, not the screen; make eye contact; use purposeful gestures.
• Arrive early, test A/V, and know how to navigate forward and backward in slides.
