Posters and graphical abstracts: How to present your science visually (7 April)
This GRADskills workshop is primarily aimed at research postgraduates from science disciplines but students from Arts are welcome as well. Sharing your research findings via a poster is commonplace during the course of postgraduate study, whether within your own department or at an international conference. This workshop is designed for individuals who wish to understand how good, basic design can enhance the quality of their poster presentations.In addition, many science journals now require the submission of a graphical abstract along with submission of a manuscript. This workshop will look at how to go about designing a graphical abstract on your research findings. Practical exercises will be carried out on your own research topic, therefore it is a good idea to think about this in advance and have some ideas of what visuals you may want to include. If participants want to bring along posters they have designed previously for critique that is also an option. The workshop aims to help you with defining the principles around effective poster design including layout, colour and font selection, produce a draft plan for your poster, produce a hand drawn graphical abstract on your research area.
