How do users interact with information?
At a research fair, like the Ohio University EXPO, people interact with information by navigating through mass amounts of research posters. This event, though very exciting, is also overstimulating. A well-designed poster enhances the visibility and recognition of your research, ensuring that your audience can quickly grasp the significance of your findings in a fast pace environment.
Why do traditional research posters suck?
Traditional posters make the mistake of including too much text, creating a situation where information overload can occur. These posters tend to be overwhelming, hindering the audience's ability to absorb and retain the presented information.
