This poster is quite simple and has minimal text but manages to convey the team’s work well. The diagram of the supermileage vehicle with the arrows, text explanations and images all help the reader easily understand the team’s work. The red text on the pictures themselves is a little hard to read. They could have used some graphics and diagrams to better show their subsystems. Notice their table. Could they have presented that information is a way that would have been easier to understand and with text and styles that better work with the rest of their poster?This team did a nice job of combining a rendered model of their latch, a diagram of how a bird’s talon and cabinet latch works and an exploded view of their assembly to show how their solution works. Can you see ways they could have improved their presentation?There are some good and not so good things happening with this poster. What do you see? It looks as if they have directly copied and pasted text from their reports right onto their poster. The font is small and hard to read. They have used text boxes but notice how their margins in the text boxes are so tight that the small pictures are smashed up against the text. Their graphs are also too small to read well, even when the poster is printed actual size. Their information is good, but how they have presented it on the poster makes it hard to see the good work the team did.This poster illustrates good use of text font, size and placement. It’s better to keep it simple and not use too many fonts or sizes of text. The way they made the text follow the arc around their assembly picture adds interest as well. It would have improved the overall presentation if they would have added lines and arrows to indicate each component on their diagram.
