Poster Tips

1) It is always a good idea to embed the fonts within the PDF document you create. If you do not, there is a danger that one or more of the fonts you have used will not be present on the printer's system, and in which case the font you chose will be replaced by a substitute, and that can mess up the layout of your poster.

2) Make sure the title and author's name are prominent and eye-catching.

3) Use graphs, tables, diagrams and images where appropriate. Use boxes to isolate and emphasize specific points.

4) Always follow the conference guidelines, which may be specific about what you are expected to present.

Poster I like:

I got this poster from Google, I really like it because it is simple and clear. It also grabs the attention by making parts of the message bigger and more obvious.

PSA Experience

It took some effort to create this PSA. But all in all, it has been a great experience and I have learned a lot during this week. Like creating a blog and using My Movie Maker. It was been a really good experience that will certainly aid me in the future.

How to make a PSA

The article was useful in terms of giving me an idea of what a PSA is and what its purpose is. Also, the article gave me some confidence in my ability to make a PSA, because the article broke down the process of making one and made it very simple and kind of fun.

PSA video outline

I will probably do a video and put some animation in it. I will probably try to appeal to the current generation because they are the future. I will probably not put any statistics but that may change.
