Very useful.
I a...Zen, thank you for the critique. Very useful.<br /><br />I am hoping I can get further advice from your readers. Some thoughts follow:<br /><br />1. The poster was set to my university colors. The background is actually a warm grey and prints very nice, without any hint of red.<br /><br />2. Text Heavy? Yes. Next time, I am aiming for at least 25% less text.<br /><br />3. Title bar arrangement. I had the same uneasy feeling about the vertical alignment. It looked fine in print, though. And, I agree that title left justified and logos on right might look better. Will try it for my next poster.<br /><br />4. Table 2 and 3. Are unsightly! I thought hard but could not come up with one image per table to convey all the information in that table. Can someone help?<br /><br />5. Background for Fig. 3,4, and 5. I tried Fig. 3 and 4 with same background color as poster background. But, they looked better with white background! So, your hard to articulate design sense about those two figures is actually correct. I did not try that same thing for Fig. 5 and after the poster was printed, I knew Fig. 5 would've looked better without that white background. Next time ...<br /><br />6. Color for bar graph on the right in Fig. 5. This was a university secondary color. I should have used the dark grey from section heads. Wouldn't dark grey looked better than red? Having both graphs in same color makes me uneasy. Why?<br /><br />6. Down arrows in Fig 2. Not sure what you mean. The down arrows are there because it is a process that flows in that order. And, there are 8-steps so each arrow was numbered. Would appreciate feedback on know how to improve this graphic.Gurdashttp://www.blog.gurdas.comnoreply@blogger.com
