Do you feel unclear about how to structure the poster?

This introductory guide will provide you with the key principles of academic poster design, covering the following:

This guide is aimed at undergraduates but is suitable for any level of study.

Teesside University conference posters are deposited in our research repository TeesRep as part of research outputs. We've filtered the search to 'by poster'. Some of the results only contain the metadata, not the actual poster, but there are also examples of posters which can used as 'good practice'.

There is also a useful display of academic posters, created by Engineering students, currently on the ground floor of the Stephenson Building. 

You may also find it useful to attend our Presentation Skills workshop and for help with PowerPoint, refer to the Microsoft 365 Video Training help pages. 

This video also provides useful advice for confidence in public speaking and delivering presentations.
