   2. The orientation of the poster should be Portrait.
   3. Your poster should include the Logo of the University and the name of your department "FAST School of Computing, Computer Science Department" at the top. 
   4. Don't use too much text - just highlight your major points. Use bullets whenever possible.
   5. Make sure that the font is large enough for people to see it from a meter away.
   6. Illustrations and visualizations of concepts (maps, pictures, photos, design drawings, diagrams, tables, charts, graphs, "screen captures") look nice and can often say more than words.
   7. Make sure you spell check! (Also, note that capitalized words are often skipped by most spell checkers.)

   9. The top-right part may contain the Project Goals.
   10. The bottom part may contain the Project Plan and the list of tentative deliverables for the final FYP-1 evaluation.
