Poster Assignment

Posters:

1. https://f1000research.com/posters/7-350 (Bioinformatics training and education: towards a sustainable global network)

—I was drawn in by this poster right away due to the rainbow color of the umbrella and how it was laid out clearly twice.

—Layed out nicely and separated in different boxes, grouping together like information

—Generally looks very cohesive as the boxes are all the same color, easy on the eye

—However, sections were not clearly labeled

—relatively simple and looks like it could take up more space

1. https://f1000research.com/posters/7-212  (The CINSARC signature predicts clinical outcome in multiple cancer types)

--very organized, each section is labeled clearly and the colors are consistent within their sections

—space is taken up but not overly crowded

—many diagrams, and many different types, many are very small (too small?)

—title could stand out more

3.https://f1000research.com/posters/7-202 (Trends in non-polio acute flaccid paralysis incidence in India 2000-2013)

—sections are clearly labeled

—uses only different shades of the same color, too monotone

—format is basically just columns and not very interesting to look at

Good Poster:

—sections clearly labeled

—colors are cohesive or consistent within their sections

—perfectly spaced and just enough information

Bad Paster:

—sections not clearly labeled

—title/topic does not stand out

—colors are scattered/clash and don’t please the eye

—overly crowded

—under-crowded
