Be careful with colour and effects<\/h3>\n

\"\"These days, you may not be required to print your poster; even some conference venues use completely electronic displays. However, bear in mind that others – examiners, reviewers, interested readers – may wish to print the poster, and some constraints are worth bearing in mind to get a good quality result.<\/p>\n
