Visuals

Graphics, photographs, diagrams, etc., are very important components of your poster. They will add interesting visuals to the poster, helping you to get your message across.

• Don't add unnecessary or too many visuals to your poster - this will clutter your poster and make it too "busy".
• Enlarge and crop your visuals, if necessary, by zooming into the relevant part of the picture/visual.
• Make sure that your visuals are clear and of good quality. There are different ways to do this, depending on whether it is a graphic, photograph, diagram, etc. Look at the following examples:

	Photographs		Use a good quality scan; or even better, take the photograph with a digital camera and work with a digital image instead of scanned pictures.
	Diagrams / Graphics		Design the diagram with a software package that has been designed for graphics and diagrams, such as Corel Presentations, CorelDraw, Photoshop, etc.
