Layout examples

Posters are typically read from top to bottom and from left to right, so it is important to organize your poster with this in mind!

This is a typical poster format. The results are centered on the poster suggesting that they are the most important information on the poster.

In this case, the methods and results are highlighted in the middle of the poster.  Perhaps the methods and results are equally important to communicate and so the authors have given them both a central location on the poster.
