Proofread
Just as you would with a research paper, make sure you proofread your poster. If you think you have caught every typo, set it aside for a day and look at it with fresh eyes.
Share your poster with a couple reviewers and be explicit about what you want them to focus on, whether that is content, aesthetics, or both. I am always happy to serve as a reviewer. My contact information can be found on the Librarian box on this page.
Print a tiny version
Once you have incorporated peer feedback and feel your poster is complete, print it out on 8.5" x 11" paper. If your text is legible when printed at this size, it is a good indication that it will be easily read when printed at the final dimensions.
