3. Final revision

Before you print and distribute your poster it needs a final check.

Remember you will have only a few seconds to attract the audience’s attention and convince them to read the full poster.

Request a fresh perspective from at least 2 audiences. Ask someone who has never heard about your research before and someone from your target audience (community engagement) the following questions:

1. Is the message clear? Are there linguistic difficulties?
2. Does the information flow logically?
3. Is the poster’s subject matter quickly discernible?
4. Is the poster layout visually pleasing? Are any of the colors overpowering?
5. Are the images big enough to be seen from 3 meters away?

Edit, edit and edit: Check every sentence and every paragraph for simplicity, clarity, and appropriateness for the audience. Delete every word that is unnecessary. 

Ask a colleague to proofread for spelling or grammatical errors.
