Posters are typically presented at large events with many other presenters. Your first goal is to capture the attention of the event attendees with an engaging design.
Title is short and readable from a distance
If attendees can read and understand your title from a distance, they’re more likely to approach you and check out your poster.
Maintains a consistent style throughout
Consistent design can make your poster more attractive and easier to scan and read quickly.
Uses accessible color choices with strong contrasts
Pay attention to the contrast between your colors (light/dark), avoid busy patterns in your background, and keep in mind those with visual impairments.
Developed and hosted in Boulder since 2018, UROP's Sidewalk Symposium invites undergraduates to share their research and creative presentations with chalk on campus walkways. UROP welcomes undergraduates at any stage of their project to participate.
