Need a poster RIGHT NOW? Here’s your summary:
“A poster that communicates ONE thing is more effective than a poster which fails to communicate ONE THOUSAND things.” -Mike Morrison, PhD
The #betterposter collection is designed to clearly communicate the most important result from your research and prompt viewers to ask better questions during an online or in person session. These poster templates are built as "billboards" to grab attention for your research and not meant to include every detail. That information belongs in your full paper or article, and can be linked via QR code. See instructions below.

Each file includes basic instructions for content blocks, and multiple color themes. Choose whichever template best fits your information.
How to incorporate poster elements
- Labels
While an institutional label is not necessary, it can still be incorporated if requested or required.
- Do: Place the label in a corner, with required space from the edges
- Don't: Change the ratio of the label – always resize by dragging from a corner, never the top or sides
- Do: Download the appropriate label from your institution – taking into consideration background color, and horizontal or vertical shape needs
- Don't: Copy a licensed (i.e., an athletics use only) logo from the internet
- If you have questions about the correct label and/or the usage, please contact your marketing or communications representative prior to finalizing your #BetterPoster.
