Deliverable I - Poster Submission

The FYP poster is a condensed representation of an FYP. It should be neat, attractive, and very inviting. Posters will be evaluated by the faculty panel. Groups will be shortlisted to present their project posters in Job Fair. This will give the opportunity to showcase your work to companies during Job fair. FYP groups will design the posters and the university will get all the approved FYPs printed.

 

The following is a list of recommended poster guidelines: You may see Sample posters for reference only.

    1. Poster size must be 24'' x 36'' or 2 x 3 feet  .
    2. The orientation of the poster should be Portrait.
    3. Your poster should include the Logo of the University and name of your department "FAST School of Computing, Computer Science Department" at 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.) 
    8. The top-left part may contain the title of the project, names of the group members and the Supervisor(s).
    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.
    11. While staying within these guidelines, there is a plenty of scope for an individual creativity through the use of different fonts, colors, backgrounds and graphics.
    12. Do not include too much information. Too much text may obscure the main message of the poster. Limit the information to the key information; rely on answering questions and on your project summary to get across the details.
    13. Use graphics where appropriate.
