Before you start, decide your theme for the poster. For example: Japanese art, Japanese food, Japanese animation, your journey in Japan, etc. Make an interesting and unique story. The easiest way to start is to make slides (6-12 or so) in the letter size format using PowerPoint (or Keynote). Print them out and assemble the slides on a poster board. The University supplies big poster boards (L 48inch x W 36 inch). 1. Decide on a title. Put your name and affiliation (If this was suggested in the Japanese language class in the U of M, please write "(Japanese Program, ALL, University of Minnesota)" after your name).  2. Introduction. In case of a research project, use a couple of slides for this part to convince your audience. Describe a convincing and fascinating reason why you want to make your poster, and summarize what you want to show in your poster.    3. Main part. In case of a research project, use this part for your theoretical concept. Using a couple of facts and examples, show your logic and convince the audience. If your poster is a journey record, show lots of pictures and describe them as you do in your Facebook.      4. Conclusion. In one slide, summarize what you have shown in your poster.  5. (Optional) One more thing. In this part, usually you can show the "Acknowledgment" to people who helped make your poster or to a person who gave you the chance to make your poster. Alternatively you can write something which helps people understand your poster.  Finally, print out all of your slides in letter size papers and put them on the board. The title must be at the top or on the upper-left corner. Alternatively, you can bring a big color paper and put the slides on it. This makes an attractive impression. |
