Poster Rubric Checker
Academic poster rubric checker: visual hierarchy and content depth
Academic posters live or die on visual hierarchy. Rubrica reads your rubric and checks whether your poster's layout, content, and citations meet the marking criteria.

What markers actually look for in a poster
A title that's readable from 2 metres and immediately tells the viewer what the poster's about.
A clear visual hierarchy: the eye knows where to go first, second, third.
Concise prose — bullets and short paragraphs, not walls of text.
Figures, charts, or images that carry analytical weight, not just decoration.
Author info, citations, and acknowledgements where the rubric requires them.
Common rubric criteria for a poster
Most poster rubrics weight some version of these. Upload yours and Rubrica will score your draft against the exact criteria your marker uses.
Visual hierarchy
Markers can spot a poster that wasn't designed within 5 seconds. Strong posters use size, colour, and white space to guide the reader through findings.
Content density
Too much text = ignored. Too little = thin. The balance is rubric-specific. Markers want enough content to make the contribution clear without overwhelming.
Quality of figures
Charts and diagrams should be self-contained: title, units, legend. Decorative images without analytical purpose lose marks.
Citation and credibility
Even on a poster, markers expect citations on substantive claims and a reference list — usually compressed but still present.
How the poster rubric checker works
1. Upload
Drop in your assignment brief, the rubric your tutor will use, and your current poster draft. PDFs, Word files, and plain text all work.
2. Analyse
Rubrica reads all three together and scores your draft against every rubric criterion specific to the poster format.
3. Revise
You get a per-criterion score and a specific list of what to change before submission. Revisions on the same assignment are free.
Frequently asked questions
Does it check visual design directly?
Rubrica reads your poster as a PDF and flags the most common content/structure issues. For pure design critique, pair this with peer feedback.
What about poster size and template requirements?
Rubrica focuses on rubric criteria, not physical specifications. Size and template compliance is a separate check against your conference or course brief.
How do I handle limited word count on a poster?
Markers reward concise, high-density content. Rubrica flags sections that are too sparse OR too dense relative to the rubric's expectations.
