Layout
Reading order - In the first three seconds of looking at a poster, the reader is deciding weather to stay and explore the poster or move on. The most effective academic posters provide a descernible reading order with a clear sequence of information.A series of columns can be an effective way of ordering information as demonstrated in newspapers and magazines.
