Friend of the blog Natalia Asari has already shared a poster with us. But It’s been a while, so you might ask, what else has Natalia been up to? Click to enlarge!

This poster was for a conference which switched from being in-person to completely online. I did it in landscape mode, which is better for computer screens. In Brazil and Europe the room for posters is usually for a A0 poster in portrait format, so this is probably what it would have been were the conference held in person in an alternate timeline with no pandemic in 2020.
The colour scheme of the poster is inspired in the colour maps I used in my plots. I used Pages because, well, I am familiar with it. I tried Inkscape once, but I did not allow enough time to get it working properly and gave up. The problem with posters is that I usually make one once in a blue moon (say, once every two years), while I give talks much more often. So I have not honed my posters skills a whole lot.
In that conference, flash talks for posters should be at most 2:30 minutes, and had to be pre-recorded. Here is mine:

It took me a couple of tries to get it short. It is much more difficult than in person, but I think this is the same lesson I have learned teaching remote classes this year and organising remote meetings and supervision.
This is a perfectly respectable poster. I would try to make the text blocks in the “less than the sum of its parts” section equally wide. Currently, the line length on the left is noticeably longer than the line length on the right.
Thanks to Natalia for sharing her online poster design and experience!
