3 Choose light text on a dark background.
4 If you use a pattern or a photograph as your background image, make sure that your readers can still read your text.
5 Ensure that your background does visually compete for the reader’s attention with the other design elements (text and visuals) on your poster.
6Your readers should really notice the background.
7 Use ‘warm’ colors to accent the other features of your design.
8 Use ‘cool’ colors as your dominant or main color.
Exercise 7.5. Look at the examples of conference posters A and B, and decide how well they have been organized. Then, in pairs, discuss positive and negative points of these two posters.
Which poster do you think is more successful? Why?
Example of a conference poster A
This poster was created and first presented during a graduate biomathematics course at North Carolina State University. It was thereafter presented at several other venues focused on biological conservation.

Exercise 7.7. Role Play “Presenting a Scientific Poster”. Work in a team.
Student A is a Chairman at a scientific conference.
Student B, imagine you are a scientist who should report what you have discovered in your research field, presenting a two-minute explanation of your research.
The rest of the students (a panel of experts), ask questions for clarification (be sure to interrupt politely) and make suggestions if you can.
Try to use some of the phrases in Appendix 3. Then change roles.
