Here is a checklist that was created to help you evaluate your poster. It is set up in the form of questions, asking if your poster visually appealing, delivers the message efficiently, and will attract people to want to see it. By going through the 18 points you should be able to see if your poster is lacking in any area, or if it has too much and needs to be toned down. By asking questions it's forcing you to take on a different perspective and evaluate your poster as if it were someone else's poster that you were looking at.
