After looking over three different posters, I have identified some factors that influence quality; both in positive and negative ways. One of the most important component of a poster in the inclusion of relevant imagery. Many people consider themselves to be visual learners and it is much easier to follow the logic when it is presented in a visual form rather than a large block of text. Going off that, excessive text on a poster makes it much harder for the audience to digest. It can be very difficult to retain information when it is presented only as text. However, text is an important factor in a well-made poster. Of the three posters I viewed, each had more visuals compared to text. These visuals included graphs to display relevant data collected, and images that help to demystify the mechanics of the experiment. But, these posters all had text that would add the necessary details for the researchers to convey their findings. The key thing is to find a good balance of images and text.
