[Biococoa-dev] Fwd: Acceptance: WWDC2006 Scientific Development Poster Session

[Alexander Griekspoor]

Hi guys,

Good news, the poster entry has been accepted. I will try to come up  
with a draft the coming week as a base to start from. As said I  
entered a poster about the mekentosj programs as well, which also got  
accepted, so Peter and Phil will represent the BioCocoa team at the  
WWDC during the poster session.
Cheers,
Alex

> Please be aware of the following poster guidelines:
> Posters must:
> Be 3’ high x 4’ wide landscape - not separate sheets hung  
> individually.
> Consist of material based on the abstract submitted to Apple
> Each poster presentation will occupy one-half of one side of a  
> freestanding, poster display board. The poster board will  
> accommodate pushpins and will be Velcro-receptive. Apple will  
> supply push pins. Presenters will be responsible for supplying  
> their own Velcro. No tape will be allowed.
>
> The following general suggestions may help you create an  
> exceptional looking poster:
>
>
> Layout:
> The width of text boxes and lines of text should contain about 10  
> to 12 words or 40 characters
> Avoid overcrowding the poster. Ample use of white space will make  
> the poster more readable
> Text:
> Title letters should be not less than 1 inch high and not more than  
> 3 inches high
> Words should be spelled out, avoiding ambiguous abbreviations
> Words should run horizontally from left to right, not vertically or  
> diagonally
> The text, tables and graphics should look integrated by using the  
> same typeface family and style
> Type should be in upper and lower case in a sans serif face (e.g.,  
> Helvetica or Arial) that is clear and precise
> Use Italics rather than underlining when necessary
> Avoid blocks of text longer than 8-10 sentences; wherever possible  
> use bulleted sentences rather than blocks of text
> Lettering for text in the body of the poster should be readable  
> from at least 4 feet away - use text that is at least 3/8-inch in  
> height
> Graphics:
> Tables are preferable to graphics for small data sets, whereas  
> charts are preferable for data sets of greater than five or more  
> groups
> Illustrations and graphs should have accompanying captions
> Elaborately coded shadings, cross-hatching and colors should be  
> avoided
> Printing
> A matte finish on the posters or uncoated paper provides better  
> visibility and reduces glare.
