Getting started
The item you choose to evaluate is up to you: you may wish to look at a system as a whole or a specific product. You may choose to focus on a specific component (e.g. signage, user comfort, environmental factors) or specific users (e.g. disabled users, partially sighted, etc). However, please remember that you do not have ethical approval to undertake studies on people.
Your poster will need to communicate your ideas as well as be eye-catching and engaging. Be careful not to make it too descriptive with lengthy blocks of text. Look at posters displayed around the Coates Building (there are good and bad examples!) to see how they’ve been designed to communicate different ideas. This may help you in designing your own poster. Your poster is a lesson in information visualisation so make it as effective as you can.
