Here are some tips for creating & presenting research posters!
Poster presentations are a fairly common way to present research in the sciences. But they can be nerve wracking & confusing to make when you’re starting out. I hope this helps!!
Week 13: Analyzing Research Poster and Implications for your own design
Section A: Analyzing Research Poster
Internet Inequality: The impact of home internet access on school success
This poster is similar to the one we need to create. Like ours, this poster is divided into sections for example: background, results, and conclusion to discuss the topic. This poster, however, is missing the sources/references section and ours is not required from an abstract nor a methodology sections. This poster and ours are similar in that they must include images and/or data graphs that are representative of our research.
The purpose of the poster is to inform about the effects on academic performance of students who have and those who lack from internet access at home. The research poster also focuses on the comparison between Hispanic/non-white and White students’ academic performance due to mostly economic reasons. This causes the poster to be very straightforward and clear in it’s purpose.
The intended audience for this poster are families that lack internet usage at home, Hispanic parents, Hispanics in general, non-white parents, non-white students, teachers, school districts, and English speaking communities. The topic seems to fit these audiences because it uses the words to refer to specific societies such as “Hispanics” and “non-white” to referred to the students being affected.
The ethos of this poster is established by the mentioning of the University of Texas at Austin. This provides credibility because it makes the reader believe that the information is, in fact, not fraudulent or made up. It is effective because UT Austin is a very recognized university that it would be hard not to believe what they are saying.
This poster displayed pathos by using an image. In this image, we can see several students using at a computer lab, however, there is a boy, that seems Hispanic, struggling in front of a computer and he is the only one being assisted. The image can be interpreted as how students could be struggling in school due to the lack of internet use at home. This creates an emotional response from the readers.
The Logos of the poster were presented by the graphs and facts provided by the authors. The authors used data to create statistics to persuade the readers by logic.
Section B: Implications for my own research poster
I will use the poster as a guide towards designing my own. This research poster is very easy to read and it is visually appealing. I will definitely use this poster as inspiration to design my own. I want my poster to be as clear and as appealing as this one. I like the colors they used because it grabs the attention and at the same time it looks profesional. My group and I will each work hard to make sure this is achieved and that our purpose is understood.
Now that I have evaluated this poster my group’s outline has changed because now I have a clearer idea of what it is expected from our poster. I now have a better perspective of how to arrange the sections to avoid making it too heavy on words. This will also change the outline since I have realized how the author used all three rhetorical appeals to get their message across and its effectiveness. This poster has also changed my group’s outline because it has given us an idea of how the final project will have to look.
✓DONE, TILL NEXT WEEK!
Week 13: Analyzing Research Poster and Implications for my own design
It is now time to analyze and figure out how to make my own research poster......
Section A: Analyzing a Research Poster
1. Effects of Electrical stimulation on Schwann cell migration on polypyrrole substrate
2. This poster is similar from the requirements for our own research poster in how the information is structured. For example it includes introduction, title, author, results, and conclusion. This poster provides short but precise paragraphs that are understandable which are also a requirement for our own research poster. Other requirement similarities are that in this poster they include images, colors, different fonts for titles and subtitles, which are helpful for the audience to read and have a better understanding of the poster. The requirement differences between this poster and our own is that the Intro is more of a background and a question-based information. Also, this poster provides the methods used and ours only requires the results because the topics for the poster are different. The information from this poster is more of science-method and our info would be more of a persuasive information.
3. The purpose of the poster is to show the effects of an electrical stimulation to cure nerve injuries and actually show how and why is it done like this and under what circumstances. The purpose of actually informing the audience is well done because they provide images showing the treatments and the methods of how can this nerve injury can be repaired. What they missed to include in this poster is the why does this nerve injury occur, and how to prevent it.
4. The intended audience for this poster is people with knowledge in biology because they include images that only people that know about biology would understand. Also, other intended audience for this poster would be people who are interested in knowing more about nerve injuries and how can it be repaired, because the poster also includes information that is understandable for someone not knowledgeable in science. The intended audience would also have to be young adults/adults because of the elevated level of information this poster includes, which a child would not understand.
5. This poster display ethos by including the schools in which this poster got the information from. These schools seem to be biology-related so they are really effective when it comes to providing credibility to the information. Also, it includes the names of the people who created these posters (Authors). This type of information provides trustworthiness because people can easily look for the schools and the authors to see if they are knowledgeable people.
6. This poster displays pathos by providing trustworthiness by the authors, and intellectual information which is not very effective. It is not effective because after providing all this information they ended with a conclusion of “hoping to” which displays confusion about the possibilities of this methods actually working.
7. This poster displays logos by providing a well structured and understandable poster, and this is effective because the audience could easily follow through. The sentences provided in this poster are also very straightforward, which helps the audience to understand the purpose of this poster. The only thing that this poster seemed to fail according to logos is the font size, which is not very clear and hard to understand the sentences.
Section B: Implications for your own research poster
1. I will use the sample and my own analysis towards guiding my own group research poster by following the structure and all the things that this poster seem to have in common with mine. Also, I really liked how the information was structured, in a way that it is not overwhelming. It also provides the sufficient images with its short but understandable text. My group and I may not do the same structure used in this poster, but I think it does gives us and idea of what a good poster can look like.
2. Our research poster outline was changed in a way that it gives us an idea of how an effective research poster should be done. At first, we were confused on how to structure the information but analyzing this poster gave us an idea of what should and should not be done according to ethos, pathos, and logos. Using the Rhetorical appeals to analyze this poster also helped me to follow the same analysis when it comes to my research poster.
FINALLY DONE!!!! and prepared to make my own research poster

Week 15: Thinking about my website
Section A: DESIGN PRINCIPLES APPLIED?
WEBSITE A
1. This site does not demonstrate a good balance because the text is not distributed correctly. The information provided in this site is not organized and the quadrants of the page do not have equal weight of information. There is text all over the site and that would make the audience to overwhelm and not understand what is the purpose of the page.
2. This site does not seem to have definitive fonts styles nor sizes. You can’t really tell what is a title and what goes with what. The site uses a lot of different sizes for the fonts, and that also makes it really hard to read and understand. Some body text do have understandable font sizes, but it still makes the page look overwhelming and confusing. It was a bad decision to use so small font sizes. The creator did not follow up the contrast part in order to have different elements from one another and make a decent site.
3. Like I mentioned before, the site does not seem to have any title or I can’t really tell because there are a variety of font sizes and styles used. They are parts in the site where they use the same size font and style but they do not seem to have anything in common. I would evaluate the consistency of this site to have bad choices of font sizes which need a lot of improvements such as trying to add elements that resemble each other.
4. This site does not use grouping appropriately. The information added in this site is put together one by one without any type of separation. You can’t really tell if one paragraph or text goes with one another or not. The use of alignment is also not used correctly because paragraphs are added vertically and horizontally, which makes the page to look messy and hard to follow along.
5. Based on the analysis I made in terms of the principle of design, this site did not meet the requirements of any of the principles. Even before I read the five principle of design I thought the page was confusing and totally not a site that I would use as a guide to make my own. I couldn’t really see any effectiveness in this site, it all seems to be overwhelming and hard to understand.
WEBSITE B
1. The balance used in this site was used perfectly. The images and texts are distributed in a way that you can understand them and see clearly. Also, the use of tabs is really good because that way you can balance your information and not in a single page where it can be overwhelming. I really like how the creator organized and balanced each of the tabs with the appropriate information.
2. Contrast in employed on the site by using different font sizes for titles and body texts. The use of fonts style is almost the same for the whole page but it really does no look bad because the different size font helps to differentiate what is a title and a body text. Also, the colors used by the site are helpful to identify different aspects of the site.
3. I would evaluate the sites consistency to be ideal. All the titles are written in capital letters resembling each other. The same font style and size is used for all body texts. The use of consistency makes the site look neat and professional.
4. The sites utilization of groping is identified very clear. As you go through the tabs you can notice that the creator of the site added a single tab of images grouped with other images and videos with only a little amount of text. Here the creator knew exactly how to group his information. The use of alignment is this site is also very well done because it does not mix elements that are horizontally and vertically, only one. There are some images perfectly align with text and that also makes it look neat and with style.
5. Based on the analysis in terms of the principles of design this site met all the requirements. While I was going through the site I thought I looked very professional and would connect perfectly with each of the five principle of design. The information and other aspects of the page are very well done, and easy to understand. The colors, fonts styles and sizes used in the site are the key elements that makes of this website the perfect guide to make your own.
Section B: Implications for you own design
1. What I’m I going to do to ensure that my website is balanced is to distribute my information in equal weight throughout the site. I am probably adding tabs so it does not look overwhelming and it is easier to understand. I would also add images but only if needed. I want my website to look neat and not have more information than I should, so I would try to balance as much as I can.
2. I would use contrast on my website by not using a lot different font sizes and styles. I am going to stick to maybe two different font styles and sizes for the titles and body texts. This is going to make it easier for the audience to identify the different elements that I am going to add. I would try to make the contrast of my website neat and professional.
3. I am going to employ consistency on my website by adding images that are the same size and stick to one font style and size for the heading so they are easy to identify. I also want to stick to the consistency of the colors used throughout by site by using the same colors in th different tabs that I’m adding.
4. I would use grouping by putting together information that is alike and complements each other. The tabs are very useful in order to group the information appropriately. Alignment is also a very important principle which I will follow by putting my information horizontally or vertically, which ever I feel more satisfied with.
5. The colors I would want to use for my website would be colors that are not irritating to the eyes and easy to see my text throughout the site. I would also choose colors that I can identify myself with. It is important that the colors I used are not irritating because it would then be hard for the audience to read.
5. Other ways that would ensure my website is well-designed is by looking up more websites done correctly and have an idea of what a good website looks like. It is also important to make my own style and demonstrate my originality. The page I am going to make is really about my whole semester so I am going to try my best to resemble myself throughout the website.
Now that I have analyze this websites and think about what I am going to do with my own website, I feel prepared and ready to start this last assignment.
Week 14: Creating an Action Plan
I feel like the group that i was assigned to has done awesome so far when it comes to planning and getting things done! We are pretty far into our project and only have a few minor things to touch up! Our teamwork is pretty great!
What is our schedule from here on out?
Well we meet once a week on Monday afternoons for a couple hours, and we add on en extra day of work time if need be! So far we have only had to do that twice!
We use the rest of the week and weekends to do personal research and personal additions to the project. Monday’s we use to put all that information in the right place, and run it by the rest of the group!
This Monday specifically we have set aside to work on our powerpoint presentation that goes along with our research poster! The only thing besides the presentation that needs finished is the introduction including our thesis. We will have to schedule another meeting time during the week to work on the intro, most likely a Tuesday or Wednesday.
What part am I worried about the most?
THE INTRO
I’m worried about the intro because its the only part of the poster we haven’t completed. All three of us have different conceptions of what is supposed to be in the intro. We have to ask Audrey in class to really clarify what we need to put in there.
What part am I most comfortable with?
THE CONCLUSION
My group and I found quite a bit of things being done to help diversify the medical field in regards to both gender and race. We have a lot of information to work with I feel like.
We’ve done great so far, and I have faith that we will finish strong! Let’s get this done ladies!
Week 14: WRAPPING UP THE POSTER: CREATING A PLAN OF ACTION
For this project I will commit at least 3 days a week to work on it. I will work on the research poster both collaboratively and individually. This poster will require a lot of time in order to do it correctly. Mondays, wednesdays, and Fridays, I will work with my group and I will work on it individually on sundays.
My group and I have agreed to work together two days a week. Mondays and Fridays will be dedicated to work collaboratively and on my Sundays I will work on it by myself. Also, I will try to use my free time between work and school work individually on the sections I am responsible for.
On Mondays we will focus on the actual content of the poster: introduction, results, sources, etc. On Fridays, we’ll work on the visual appealing and design of the poster. On Mondays the group will meet at noon and on Friday we’ll meet around 3:00 pm. Of course if there is class time available, we will definately dedicate the time to work on our poster.
In order to achieve the goals for our project, we will do a ton of research to make sure the information is accurate. The research information will be gathered from scholarly sources to be 100% sure that they are credible. We will follow the guidelines provided by Miss Audrey to complete the poster. Most importantly, we will be open minded and listen to each other’s ideas to design the structure of our poster.
The aspects of the assignment that concern me are the results section because we need to come up with a solution to the problem stated. We came up with some ideas but we still need to do more research. I am also concerned with the structure of the poster, we have a lot of information and a limited space. I am worried on how we are going to condense all the information. I am also concerned with how we will address some of the rhetoric appeals.
For the most part, I am confident on the introduction section and sources of the poster. I am also confident on the visual aspect of our poster because my group is actually very creative and I am sure we will have an awesome research poster.
