If you are confident enough, you think that by yourself you can do it to, then go for it. Having your own personal touch on your poster is good scheme. If you have not tried computer graphics or are just starting out, find someone whose poster you like and ask them what they use. However, most posters are quickly made is by using some kind of computer software. A word processing program plus a few graphics packages e.g. CricketGraph, MacDraw Pro, Aldus Freehand, Adobe Photoshop for IBM or Macintosh are some of important tools.

Planning and deciding what will be the main message of your poster very important. Keep it short and sweet. Use the active voice (i.e., avoid "ing" on the ends of verbs) and avoid the verb "to be" whenever possible.
The spacing of your poster is important. Put into consideration that you must lay out the space properly on the paper. Make your poster flexible enough to change the size by adding or omitting elements.
By lay outing your elements crudely is a good method. Before you actually spend time making the final elements of the poster, take pieces of paper that are about the right size and see if you can actually make it all fit. This will save you a lot of time in the long run.
And lastly, eliminate all extraneous material or unnecessary subject on your poster, omitting materials & methods is fine because most people will not read them anyway. Given that the average poster gazer spends less than 10 minutes on your work and you have 11 seconds to trap your subject before they move on.
