Poster

The poster that i do will probably be more on the serious side because of the subject matter. it will probably end up looking more along the lines of a newsprint or newspaper looking because it is related to writing and as of right now journalism. it will be incorporated in the presentation as a visual guide with important information and will be used as a visual in the presentation. i currently do not have the supplies or the quote selected for the poster, but will get them as soon as i get my project figured out. I do not know what size i will use.

Capstone

Because of my major in  creative writing, it was very difficult for me to find a topic to try and research for. I eventually settled on an idea to help with the problem of bias in reporting and journalism where it really shouldn't be. My idea for a project was a database that would show bias in articles so that the reader could be aware of it, as well as presenting other options of that story.
Because of my injury my product was never judged because of how behind I was. Had it been judged, however, i feel that it would have been rejected. From here i believe i need to work to either strengthen my original idea or pick something better relating to my career choice, which is very difficult.

Poster Research

1. Fill the poster, don't leave a lot of empty space.
2. Make the header/ title catching, not a turn-off.
3. Make the poster organized and understandable.
4. Make the poster colorful and interesting to look at.
5. Ensure the poster does it's job and is not overdecorated.
