APA Style Checklist for Posters

Checklist for Effective Posters:

  • Font type and size are consistent (use the same size font for levels of headings).
  • Text can read at a distance.
  • Text may be single-spaced.
  • Only include key findings and necessary text. Use bullets and visuals to convey information.
  • Use consistent colour scheme.
  • Follow APA Style rules as closely as possible for all visual information (photos, figures, tables, etc.).
  • Include an APA Style formatted References list. The References list may be in smaller font to conserve space.
