hi hi! #OTalk https://t.co/mLpvNwAkpX
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
@colourful_ot @OTalk_ Thank you @colourful_ot for leading a research #OTalk much appreciated
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
@colourful_ot I struggle with posters as I have too much to say (surprise ... I know!) but I love to see how well others use posters to share their research messages #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@colourful_ot My first poster- I did it with @GillyGorry at #aota13. She did an awesome job to make up for my lack of artistic talents. I have done a few others since, primarily at AOTA, WFOT, OT Australia and CAOT conferences since. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@colourful_ot @GillyGorry Many of my others in terms of posters are solo acts. My poster ideas are hard in finding the right partners. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@SLawsonOT @colourful_ot @theRCOT I am still shut out at RCOT. Hopefully it will change when I come next time. #otalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
@SLawsonOT @colourful_ot @theRCOT I need to come to you for advice @SLawsonOT. Congratulations on your prize #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@Ffifi2020Fiona @colourful_ot I ironically started at doing workshops at state level in California in USA. So it took me a few years to accept that doing posters is a good idea too. I do say at AOTA conferences in particular, posters fit my social demands well. It can draw people who want to meet me. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@colourful_ot Since I want it portable and get it printed (unless it is Australia because they are e-posters for the last few times), Google Slides is what I use. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@SusanGriffiths5 @colourful_ot I think it also depends on what your printer prefers too. My lack of artistic skills make me not a good person to provide answers to this... lol! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@colourful_ot @SLawsonOT @theRCOT Yes- QR code has been popular since this decade. I have seen more and more AOTA posters with them. (Australia is different because you can view all e-posters through its conference app.) #otalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
@SLawsonOT @colourful_ot @theRCOT So how does the QR code work #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
They also added a spotlight slot for people to showcase their posters during the conference for 4 minutes if they want. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
So I have been talking about e-posters at Australian conference. I might as well expand on that. The most recent time, you can see their posters on its conference app or available monitors around the conference venue. This time, they added a "meet the author" session. #OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
@SusanGriffiths5 @BillWongOT @colourful_ot Our medical illustration department at work are also very helpful with design and printing. They now charge a small fee but it is very reasonable #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@SusanGriffiths5 @colourful_ot I am more of a cloth person nowadays. I am not good at keeping paper posters. Plus, cloth is portable! #otalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
@SLawsonOT @colourful_ot @theRCOT That’s very clever, thank you #OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
@colourful_ot I don’t like posters with lots of small text where the authors are trying to cram in too much. Less is definitely more with posters #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@colourful_ot I think we need to expand a bit because posters at AOTA conferences are not all research posters. There are a good bit that are ideas-based. I often do this type... although I will adapt to the conference if needed. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@SusanGriffiths5 @colourful_ot yup- I mean fabric... lol! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@colourful_ot For me, I have made it a point now to insert some pictures so that it is not all text. Sometimes pictures can highlight points that you want to make. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@SLawsonOT @colourful_ot if it is an e-poster like the Australian style, then all you can do is to use word of mouth to get people wanting to talk to you about your poster.#otalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
@SLawsonOT @colourful_ot Sometimes with research posters it is hard to get the timing right i.e. early in the study the authors may want to share their plans and ideas but I am looking for results and outcomes #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@preston_jenny @SLawsonOT @colourful_ot and I know when I submitted to Australia last year... my posters didn't fit well with a 4 minute showcase criteria... because there is a lot of background info that the attendees have to know before they can understand my idea. #otalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
@GeorgiaVineOT @Laura_Does @colourful_ot Posters are hard, at least in my opinion they are! #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@preston_jenny @GeorgiaVineOT @Laura_Does @colourful_ot I often tell people with my posters, if you are expecting innovative and artsy stuff, it is NOT my forte. My aim is more of a functional poster. #otalk
Mari Ward @MariWardahp
@colourful_ot I’ve presented a few different posters at various events I enjoy the one to one discussions generated from interest in your work #OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
@Ffifi2020Fiona @colourful_ot Thank you for asking this question, I was also wondering #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@colourful_ot @Ffifi2020Fiona Here's an article on how to do it. https://t.co/Fd1n6PG1LS #otalk

@colourful_ot @Ffifi2020Fiona Time for a play, thank you #OTalk
Mari Ward @MariWardahp
@colourful_ot I got help from the friendly medical illustration department in our health board #OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
@DiverseLearners @colourful_ot The response from a professional, thank you Kerry #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@GeorgiaVineOT @preston_jenny @Laura_Does @colourful_ot I think you just need a partner to see if it looks too funky! #otalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
@BillWongOT @colourful_ot @Ffifi2020Fiona I’m learning so much tonight 🎉 #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@SusanGriffiths5 @colourful_ot My autism posters always surprise people on how good it really is. When they realize the perspectives are a bit different than most OT autism posters, they gasp because they learn things from a different perspective #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@Laura_Does @GeorgiaVineOT @preston_jenny @colourful_ot haha- my Australian posters used black background and red font. But, then again... that's a good combination of colors for my topic... since it's about TEDx. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@GillyGorry @colourful_ot I have learned to be a talker too after that poster... lol! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
I think an underrated element of poster presentations is- if you do it with people, make sure you do it with people you are compatible with and share similar passions. #OTALK
Mari Ward @MariWardahp
@colourful_ot Its getting a balance between visual illustration and words. You want to stand out but also hold the focus of the reader #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTEllenUK @colourful_ot @OT_UEA At least you are lucky I am in the USA. I would have given you guys an evil type of in-class assignment for a class. Although... I will try to get the idea approved when I teach an OT leadership class later this year! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@MariWardahp @colourful_ot I try to achieve about 2/3 words and 1/3 pictures. At the end of the day, people need to know what your poster is about. Too many images make me feel that I am reading a picture book rather than a professional poster. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@colourful_ot I will go with the opposite. I don't like a poster where people are printing slides on what would they have presented in a workshop format. #otalk
Mari Ward @MariWardahp
@colourful_ot I don’t remember it as part of my education specifically but a few decades have passed since my graduation 🙈 #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@colourful_ot I would say definitely NOT! I think almost all the classes were Powerpoint presentations! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
RT @SusanGriffiths5:
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
@colourful_ot @GeorgiaVineOT I think ultimately it comes down to personal preference. I have judged posters at conferences with some criteria re font size, headings etc. but there is always an element of subjectivity. Design is often overtaken by content especially where good research is concerned #OTalk

Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@hooper_ek @SusanGriffiths5 @colourful_ot For me, I just need a creative partner in crime who is also willing to go across the globe! Until then, my content is probably selling point. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@preston_jenny @colourful_ot @GeorgiaVineOT I also have judged posters too at CAOT. I like that element with student posters. They have to be under the gun. #OTALK
Mari Ward @MariWardahp
@colourful_ot It was a promotional poster on an AHP toolkit to promote team performance. It was titled as a pit stop and all the elements were on a racetrack. Eye catching and informative #OTalk

@Ffifi2020Fiona @colourful_ot For my teaching jobs, I actually have to do a teach demo on top of the the interview. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@Ffifi2020Fiona @colourful_ot I think my posters will show this personality about me- doing things with a keep it simple approach... lol! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
and more on posters- I like what #wfot18 did. They have guided posters throughout the conference. It really highlights certain ideas that might interest attendees. #otalk
