Refining your content

Now that you’ve established the purpose of your poster, what is your poster to be about? Check your assignment criteria and the marking grid to define the information that should be included on the poster. 

You will no doubt have a lot of information which will need reducing to communicate clearly and concisely on one page. This video discusses the process of refining your content for your poster in easy-to-follow steps: 

As an academic poster, references must be included. Like an essay, you are required to have a reference list to show your reading and the research you’ve done that has contributed to your work. Follow the guidance on referencing style and format for your course.

When refining your content, always refer to your assignment brief. You don’t want to edit out information that is a part of your assessment criteria!
