The principle
Lecture and talk posters must communicate an idea, not just a time and place. The best ones visualise the speaker’s subject in a way that makes you curious. They often have very little imagery and rely on a strong conceptual move.
Objective. Visualise an intellectual idea to spark curiosity.
