My Research Poster

[fecgoh]

Hi Tanzy,

I'm an art director and I hope you don't mind my comments

I find your logo for the King's College London a bit too small. Most company, college and etc wants to make their logo bigger. It's a branding thing . The main heading is also too small. If I were to see this poster from far, the first thing that I see is the background leaf. I would not know what this poster is about. Nature?

So your heading is important. Make the heading bolder and maybe in white. The name, department and address need not be so big. Make it smaller so that you have space to enlarge your heading.

Your font and heading for "Introduction", "Aims" and etc should also be bigger. Change the font to a thicker one and use orange.

Your "References" can be in 2-3 lines at the bottom to give you more room to play with.

The Scorpinone picture need to be larger too.

I know it is too late to do anything, but you can apply it to future design no? I hope you are not offended ha?

Good stuff! The whole idea is to get feedback so I can learn from mistakes. Just saw the morning poster presentation and this year's competition is HOT compared to last year. Looks like it's gonna be tough to win.

Impressive article.... but perhaps a background picture of cells or DNAs, stuffs like that would be more appropriate?

Tanzy, My comments:

1. Shld include reference when making claims etc

eg xxxxxxxx[1]

2. Don't seems to see acknowledgement.

3. Believed some assumption or error existed in your experiment. U consider that??

2 cents.

Cheers

Tigger,

All not there due to lack of space. We were told to be brief with the posters because nobody is really interested in what you did anyway.

References are made but they are too small to be seen here.

What assumptions? Care to elaborate? I would like to know. Thanks!

Thanks for the tip but I was wondering it photo quality posters are possible.

Well can push it to 300 dpi but then anything higher will make very little difference and is then highly dependent on the original image quality...

And like I said, the bigger the picture, the less likely it's meant to be viewed up close...

but I understand lah.. always nice to push the limits.. heh...

Sori I can't give any as I major in Materials. I used to write technical papers and get them publish in conferences and during the presentation, ppl will challenge the points u make. Which is why its good to make assumptions etc........

Nevermind. It's OK.

I got questioned by three professors, in a row. Ran out of voice towards the end and mouth was dry. One wanted me to write a paper concering critical concentration but I declined. Not in the mood for extra work.

Bah.... it sucks.

NOT. Nice. Almost like a shampoo ad.

I thought it is a product Tanzy is selling. Anti-cancer pills of some sort.
