Evaluation Criteria for Poster Project

I will be asking the following questions when I evaluate your posters, therefore it may help you to ask youself these same questions as you are writing and formating and assembling your posters.....

Is it visually pleasing?
  • Is the font big enough to read from a few feet away?
  • Are the diagrams readable?
  • Is the poster generally "easy on the eyes" or is it exhausting/daunting to read for visual/aesthetic reasons?
  • Is it nice looking or is it sloppy and "thrown-together?"
