3.18.19 Finalizing Poster

Rationale: Since the poster had a solid beginning and an understanding of what needed to be done, it was necessary to all play roles in wrapping up the loose ends of the poster. Therefore, I worked on ensuring the formatting and shapes were all consistent and optimal for displaying the ideas of our project.

Tools and Procedure:

Google Slides was used to collaborate on the final version of the poster to ensure that everyone could access the project in real-time.

Results:

The shapes were reconfigured twice because there was a small error in the scaling that required all of the work to be redone. Also, the shape for the in silico results section was changed to a more optimal L-shape to ensure that all of the figures and data could be incorporated.

Conclusions:

Editing the formatting of posters is a very tedious, yet satisfying job that requires a lot of attention to detail. While formatting rarely makes a poster more influential or memorable (the results or procedure tend to do that), it can detract from the information being presented which can damage the overall presentation. Therefore, it was important to make sure everything was done correctly to give the poster the best possible chance to succeed.

Next Steps:

After the formatting was fixed, there are still some final tweaks that need to be added on the rest of the poster. Once these tweaks are added and inputted, the poster will be complete and ready for a final check before printing and presenting.
