Will a more careful reader learn enough to ask informed questions? Suggested headings 1. Issue1. Introduction 2. Approach2. Methods 3. Findings3. Results 4. Implications for Policy and Practice4. Conclusions An infographic is worth a thousand words ePosters are a visual medium. Use images, and infographics to convey your messages. Use the graphics to illustrate and support your key points. Graphics should not be blurry or pixelated. Use high-resolution images. If necessary, indicate the ordering of your section with numbers, letters, or arrows. Balance the placement of text and graphics. Use white space creatively to define the flow of information. Columns make your poster easier to read. Your graphs should look professional and have labels. For assistance with ePoster submission please contact: Pandemicofhealth.dlsph@utoronto.ca
