8.5 Resume software
Page margins of 1/2 to 1 inch on all sides generally look fine.
1. Except for your name, which can be larger, font sizes of 10, 11 or 12
generally look fine. Note that Arial 12 and Times 12 are not the same size.
If you have trouble getting your content on one page, use a smaller font,
like Arial 10.
2. Create your heading (name, addresses, phone numbers and e-mail).
You can create a three-column, two-row table (with cells merged on top
row) to organize your heading, as shown below, if you find this helpful.
3. For the body of your resume, create a table; one column for headings;
another column for content; one row for each heading section.
4. You can resize and realign your content easily as you revise your
resume. Using the table format means you don't have to individually tab
each line of your resume.
5. Set your borders to be invisible: format > borders and shading >
borders > none. You'll see them on screen as guidelines, but they won't
print.
Use Microsoft Word to prepare your resume.
DO create your own simple Microsoft Word format, using a table with
invisible borders:

PART II
UNIT 4
POSTER PRESENTATION
POSTER PRESENTATION – A poster is simply a static, visual medium
(usually of the paper and board variety) that you use to communicate ideas
and messages. The difference between poster and oral presentations is that
you should let your poster do most of the 'talking'; that is, the material
presented should convey the essence of your message. A visitor to a poster
does not want to read it, but to inspect it. The key to creating an effective
poster presentation is visual simplicity achieved without loss of information
content.
PURPOSE: to present ideas clearly and concisely. The main point of a
poster should be immediately clear to the audience when they first see it, so
you need to think carefully about the impact.
OBJECTIVE: students use poster presentations to be selective in
communicating their ideas, to demonstrate research work at different
conferences.
1. Lead-in
Demonstrate a poster presentation and discuss the following questions.
1. What exactly is a poster presentation?
2. What exactly is the "presentation" part of a poster presentation?
3. What will the people viewing the poster be expecting from it?
2. Guidelines for designing a poster:
Make the title brief and descriptive.
Provide a brief abstract to orient the viewer.
Plan a story for the viewer (the context – what, why, how;
the results and analysis; the importance of the results).
Use telegraphic language and bulleted outlines.
46
Construct easy-to-interpret graphs and tables for information and
comparisons.
Include a visual image to illustrate your project and/or results.
Make it easy for the viewer to determine the flow of information.
3. Layout
Poster Sample № 1
One of the simplest arrangements for a poster in landscape orientation with
individual poster elements in portrait orientation.
47
Poster Sample № 2
Landscape poster with a more complicated arrangement, but one which might
work well when multiple small items such as photographs will be displayed.
4. Do’s & Don’ts
DO’S DON’TS
LAYOUT & FORMAT
1. Make up your poster in a large section, all
of roughly comparable size. Suggestion: each
standard-sized paper, individually on a
colored-board of its own of slightly larger
dimension (9.5 x 12”)
1. Make your poster up on
just one or two large boards
2. Keep your title short, snappy and on target.
The title needs to highlight your subject matter
2.Write an overlong title
3. Make your title large enough to be read
easily from a considerable distance. The title
should never exceed the width of your poster
area or should it ever occupy more than 2
3.Make the title type size
too large or too small
48
lines. If things don’t fit, shorten the title, don’t
reduce the type-size
4. Put the names of all authors and
institutional affiliations just below your title
4.Leave people wondering
about who did this work
5.Use a type-size that can be read easily at a
distance of 4ft or better. 14-point type for fine
print and work way up (never down). For text-
20-point type
5. Use too small type-size
for your poster. Never,
ever, use 10\12 point type.
Don’t use it in your text,
anywhere. Don’t use it for
captions, figure legends,
footnotes. Don’t ever use
small type on a poster
6. Use a high-quality laser \ inkjet printer ( no
dot matrix printers, typewriters, handwriting)
6.Pick a font that’s plain to
read
7. Design your poster as if you were designing
the layout for a magazine \ newspaper. Strive
for consistency, uniformity and a clean
readable look
7. Vary the type
sizes\typefaces excessively
throughout the poster
8. Lay out the poster segments in a logical
order. Suggestion: columnar format to proceed
vertically; first top to bottom, then left to right
8. Make your reader all over
the poster area to follow
your presentation
9. Use colors in your poster and try to use
them in a way that helps to convey additional
meaning. Suggestion: a) color borders, select
sth. that draws attention; b) color artwork –
colors mean sth. and serve to make useful
distinctions; c) pseudocoloring – color scale
should be tasteful, sensible and intuitive;
d) color contrast – never place isoluminous
colors in close proximity (dark red on navy
blue)
9. Use
gratuitous(неуместный)
colors
POSTER CONTENT
10. Break your poster up into sections.
Label all sections with titles. Always start
with an abstract (less than 150 words).
Display all graphs, photos, etc. in
context. Write clear, short legends for
every figure. Follow up with a conclusion
section.
10. Write your poster as one
long, meandering thread
49
11. Get right to the heart of the matter
and remember the all-important KISS
Principle: Keep It Simple, Stupid! Your
poster must explain: a) what’s the
question; b) why should we care; c)
what’s your strategy; d) what did you
actually do; e) what did you actually find;
f) what did you think it all means; g)
reservations; h) where do you go from
here. BE brief and always stay on point
11.Ever expect anyone to spend
more than 3–5 min. at your
poster
12.Recall that a poster should be more
telegraphic style
12. Write your poster just as if it
were a scientific paper
13. Consider adding a helpful tutorial
section to your poster
13. Leave prospective readers
hanging or assume they’re all
experts
14. Provide parties with routes into the literature and supply a context for
your work
14. Leave out the references
(Steven M. Block: Do’s and Don’ts of Poster Presentation, Biophysical
Journal, Vol 71, 1996)

Once I have decided what to include, how do I actually design
my poster?
