![]() After some experimentation and quite a few hours of work, this is what we came up with: ![]() So, when Aaron Dall and I got the chance to present our paper Viewing counting polynomials as Hilbert functions via Ehrhart theory at the conference FPSAC 2010 and had to prepare a poster, I really wanted to try to close the gap between these two ideas of what a poster should be. The will to make the poster work as an image that looks cool. Of course, focusing on the content is a good thing, but I feel there is something lacking in the average conference poster: The guiding visual design that ties everything together. While most scientist realize the necessity of making their poster appealing to the audience, the (textual) content they are trying to communicate is formost in their mind, and so their posters look just like that: decorated text. To everybody else, a poster is a big beautiful image, possibly with a few captions. To most scientists, a poster is a body of text, made more attractive by adding a few pictures here and there. I always found that there is a very large gap between a scientist’s idea of a “poster” and what everybody else refers to as a “poster”.
