Plan ahead!
You have probably heard this again and again. That is because it is IMPORTANT!
With an increasing reliance placed upon poster presentations for information transfer at meetings, there comes an increased impatience with poorly presented materials.
Although the poster preparation will expand to fill whatever time you allow it, don't be caught with an unfinished poster!
Planning ahead is particularly important if photographs are to be used.
- Allow time for at least two rounds of photographic processing to take place, just in case.
- Custom photo processing may be more expensive, but offers rapid turn-around and precise color balancing.
- Use sufficient enlargement to allow details to be seen at a distance of 6 feet or more.
