Poster #41

Closed PallaviMurthy closed 10 years ago

PallaviMurthy commented 10 years ago

Layout and content brainstorming for poster making.

And all discussion about poster goes here.

zhhuo commented 10 years ago

Lets try to draw it on the paper first, I think we should have introduction, methods and tools we use, display result and future work. At least, these four sections.

PallaviMurthy commented 10 years ago

Yes Zach. I will put up any info regarding the poster for reference.

PallaviMurthy commented 10 years ago

Some Do's and Dont's in a poster:

  1. DON'T write an overlong title. Save it for your abstract. Titles that use excess jargon are a bore. Titles with colons in them are a bore. Titles that are too cute are even more of a bore.
  2. DON’T use too small a typesize for your poster. This is the single most common error. Never, ever, use 10- or 12-point type. Don't use it in your text, anywhere.
  3. DON'T use gratuitous colors. Colors attract attention but can equally well detract from your message when misused. Fluorescent (neon) color borders just don't cut it for posters. Neither do excessive variations in color (the rainbow look). Forget paisley, tie-dye, stripes, polka dots, and batique.
PallaviMurthy commented 10 years ago
  1. DO get right to the heart of the matter, and remember the all-important KISS Principle: Keep It Simple Stupid! In clear, jargon-free terms. A poster must explain:
    • what’s the question?
    • why should we care?
    • what's your strategy?
    • what did you actually do?
    • what did you actually find?
    • what did you think it all means?
    • optional( where do you go from here ?)

Some good posters! We could get the idea of layout for ours.

Here is the first draft of our poster. https://iu.box.com/s/bi6y0r6scdnm1klv9fm7

I really have only worked on the first section. I still have a lot to clean up here, but at least it is a start.

I made the alluvial diagram to try and demonstrate how we resolved the document distribution challenge. I will make the histogram smaller, and show some sort of transition between it and the alluvial.

Please send me your images / text / other content. It takes time to make this look "professional", so I appreciate as much lead time as you can give me.

I will post additional drafts as I continue to make progress.

Thanks, Trevor

Great, thx!

Just a minor comment on the style. I'm a 3D effect hater and I personally feel that there're too many colors. Could we use the same color palette & 'flat' style as http://www.hathitrust.org? What do you guys think?

That alluvial diagram looks really cool (though a bit of overkill :smile: ). If you could combine date distribution histogram with it into a single diagram(upper list of dates could become the x-axis ticks of the histogram), it would look even better.

It's my personal opinion though.

tedelblu commented 10 years ago

Ha! Okay, I got rid of all the 3D effects (hater). I can simplify the color palette to just 3 colors instead of 8. I might wait to change that up until I have everything, just so there is continuity.

Can you give me an example of what you mean by combining the histogram and the alluvial? I'm not picturing what you describe.

Also, a friendly reminder to please send me content for the other sections. I would like to take tomorrow off work to finish this poster, but that would be a waste of my time if I don't have any content.

Thanks!

@tedelblu I'm outputting those formulas. Which of the following vectorized formats do you prefer, PDF or EPS? screen shot 2014-04-28 at 8 01 24 pm

tedelblu commented 10 years ago

Either is fine. No preference.
