POSTERS GUIDELINES

1. The size of poster 1 is one sheet (100 cm long and 70 cm wide).

2. The font size must be:
a. TITLES: 36-40 points
b. SUBTITLES: 26-30 points
c. BODY OF TEXT (or theoretical contents): 22-26 points
Arial font.
d. Text line spacing 2.0 points
e. Figures and tables: they must be designed to be seen at a distance of 2
meters.
3. The printing will be made according to the following parameters: or Vertical
format or 2 cm margins on each side.
4. Photos and images in 300 dpi. (Only the poster authors' own images or
photos may be used.)
5. The content of the poster should be designed on a white or opaque-colored
background that highlights the text of the research. The sections should be
grouped logically, following the structure of the following format:

"A poster is a visual means to communicate the results of a working paper. A

poster is not simply an article presented in another format. The poster, unlike
the article, is more graphic in nature. A good poster should guide the viewer
using a visual logic, with a hierarchical structure that emphasizes the main
points of the work."
