Building from the previous chapter, this one describes how to do poster presentations as interpersonal discourses and dialogue. These are intimate conversations where the poster is simply the visual aid. The presenter must still do a presentation, but they should be in 30-second, 60-second, and three-minute versions while properly utilizing but not relying upon the poster as a visual aid. The poster must be constructed with pleasing colors and layouts and should assist and not substitute for the presenter. Emerging and possible future trends of this medium are also provided.
