Well, this should be coming along, what do you guys think?
Thanks.

Here's where I'm at. Any suggestions? The painting is mostly finished I just haven't scanned it in yet.

Came upon this website: NSF's science visualization challenge. Check out the past winners, and there's a section for informational posters!

Idea for Sarah

I saw this horizontal design, and while I feel certain aspect of it are too busy and hard to read, I think it really lends itself to showing the process from start to finish and it reminded me of your design.

Does anyone have experience making 3-D posters?

Not an Infographic but...

It's an illustrated pie chart, and pie charts seem to be a theme in this class. It's a representation of America's 2011 budget. Enjoy this pie: http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lje84yPWfP1qap046o1_500.png

Feedback. Please!

I'll give you candy :)

Things move fast in the design world

I totally scratched all previous ideas and randomly came up with the idea for a board game. This way, I could show progress, but would still be able to maintain a fun design and loud colors. I think that I'll be able to really show all of the different aspects that I wanted to initially with this new layout, but before I get too far, I'd love some feedback.

Very Brief Thoughts on Scientific Poster Design
Jorge Perez-Gallego

Scientific Poster Design
- Title , make it look cool
- Layout guides the audience
- Different blocks of information are self contained
- Lots of pictures
- Small amounts of text


Scientists
- 75% of your times is spent doing research
- Throw a poster together at the last minute
Place information into a template



Designers
- Know your audience
- Know their level of background information


Approach
- Do not use comic sans. Ever.
- A picture is worth a thousand words
o Graphs
o Drawings
o Figures
- Form follows function
- Stands out and makes impact
- Remember though, you’re science comes first!
How broad is the scope of the conference?
Is there a poster session at the conference?
Can I reuse the poster?
Donate it to a community center or educational center!
Am I willing to take risk?
You will fail initially! But practice make perfect

Tips:
- Think outside of the box
- Put a portrait of yourself on the poster
- Take home handouts
- 3D artifacts
- Physical interactivity (post-its)
Do not just put things on the poster for the sake of it, it has to have a reason and purpose within the subject

Have you updated your browser yet?

I dunno if you all use Firefox or not, but there's a new version out. I hear it's good and has some new features, but that stuff is kind of over my head. I updated and really I've been slow to adjust to the obvious, basic changes. Just thought I'd post this. There's an infographic for everything, it seems!
