2.27.19 Creating PowerPoint Poster

Rationale: After the paper sketch was returned, the next step was to transfer the ideas to a PowerPoint slide (the typical tool used to make scientific posters). Therefore, today was dedicated to beginning the process of creating a PowerPoint version of what had been established on Monday.

Procedure:

Sketch was analyzed and revised. Work was split up amongst the three group members  and different sections were created today. The sections were worked upon until the end of lab.

Results:

A PowerPoint slide with general content was created today. The time permitted was not nearly enough to compile all of the content needed for a complete poster, so only some of the content was present on the submitted copy.

Conclusions:

Creating a poster is very difficult to do in an hour and a half. The process is far longer and requires a lot of attention and planning. In the planning process, it would have been more beneficial to focus more on content and less on how the information would look on the slide. However, a good beginning to a slide was achieved today and will provide a foundation for future work.

Next Steps:

Information that was put on the slide today will need revision, and the rest of the information that had yet to be added will need to be analyzed and added during the next opportunity.
