02/27/19 Poster Design
Rationale:
The purpose of today’s lab was to create a poster design on PowerPoint for Scholars Week based off of the rough draft created.
Tools:
- Microsoft Powerpoint
- DNA Master Results
- Microsoft Excel
Procedure:
- Created a poster through Microsoft Powerpoint by setting the dimensions to 48 x 48 inches, selecting a color scheme, and inserting all the necessary charts, graphs, and figures.
Results:
- The poster was not yet completed, but significant progress was made.
Conclusion:
The poster making process was incredibly difficult to complete within the allotted time period as there were several learning curves to figuring out how to adjust for the extreme size of the powerpoint.
Next Steps:
The next steps for this poster are to continue tweaking little details until a fully polished and presentable poster is ready.

02/25/19 Poster Rough Draft
Rationale: The purpose of today’s lab was to look at past poster designs and create a rough outline of a possible poster deign for scholars week.
Procedure:
- Previous years poster designs were examined as the class determined what they liked and what they didn’t
- Poster design groups were then assigned
- Sheets of paper were taken out and poster design outlines were drawn out and drafted for submission.
Results:
- The resulting poster was drafted with some possible figure ideas and layout.
Conclusions:
Although a very rough draft was made, there are still several elements and figures that have yet to be added to the poster.
Next Steps:
The next steps for this experiment are to take the draft that we have created and apply it to creating a poster for Scholars Week.

Poster Board Design
02/25/19
Rationale: to prepare a scientific poster board for Scholars Day
Procedure:
- the proper elements and components required in a scientific poster board were discussed
- examples of poster boards were compared

- assigned to be in a group with Sabin Patel and Michael Lum
- draft for a poster board was made with the members
Results:
first sketch of draft
Conclusion:
making poster boards requires a great amount of preparation. They must be specifically designed so that they can be easily used to present the information.
future steps
we will make a draft poster as a group, which will later be combined with other poster boards for a final draft.

Poster Making 2/27/19
Rationale
Today we will begin making a research poster to present our findings on NapoleonB.
Procedure
- Powerpoint was opened and a shared presentation was created for each person in the group to begin working on the poster.
- Each group member worked on different aspects of the poster, in order for it to come together and to maximize time.
- The outline and spacing of the poster was individually worked on, as well as the introduction.
Results
The created poster is shown below.
The poster is not finished, but due to time constraints, this was the result produced.
Conclusion/Next Steps
Next, we will continue to work on our poster and learn more about the art of poster making. We will also dive more into each section and what each of us wants to present in each section of the poster.
