Rationale: Since we determined good visuals are important for a good poster we will work on making aesthetically pleasing visuals.

Tools: Excel, Photoshop

Procedure:

1. Took all the data from the past year of research and attempted to make a chart for each relevant piece of data.
2. Made a sunburst chart to represent gene function calls, pie chart for soil composition and tree measurements
3. Cropped photos from wet-lab results to make them more visually appealing.

Results: N/A

Conclusion and Future Work: The visuals definitely need more work to look as visually appealing as I was shooting for. Therefore, I will work some more to make sure that the information is provided in an aesthetic way.
