#BetterPoster Template
Designed by Mike Morrison, PhD. You can learn more about this type of design by watching this video. It has three main components:
1. The center presents the core message you want people to know. Bold the most important terms.
2. The Ammo Bar - on the right side. This is any information you need to be able to refer to in order to answer questions. This is the nice to know information.
3. The Side Bar - on the left side. This is the "silent presenter bar" that includes the other information you would normally have on a poster. In other words, the need to know information.
Be sure to include a QR code that links to a paper so that people can learn more.
