How-To-Make-A-Poster-Poster
The new poster models how to balance text with different types of graphics and photos.
The Digital Scholarship Lab has a new poster! Natalie used her recent peer-reviewed publication to model effective poster design for Brandeis students. The poster walks viewers through her digital archaeology project, which combines GIS, archaeological survey, archaeological and historical data, and text analysis to measure the changing visual prominence of the Argive Heraion Sanctuary in the Peloponnese. Natalie purposefully selected different types of graphics and visualizations so that Brandeis students can observe new ways to present their work on a poster.
The key takeaway: avoid pasting your whole essay onto the poster! A visually appealing design and thoughtful graphics will draw people in. You'll likely be standing next to the poster at the conference; you can tell the audience all of the details.
The poster was created in Canva. Brandeis community members are welcome to download a PDF copy for learning purposes. Or, come to the DS Lab to check it out! Read the full publication here.
