Senior Sequence

Poster/Multimedia Tips

Guide to creating a story board (poster)

On Thursday, March 11th, 2010 you must set up your poster in Ballroom B of UCSD’s Price Center between 8:30 am and 10:00 am. Doors open to the public at 10:00 am. Your posters will be organized by research team. Look for the table with your Area of Concentration and Grand Challenge sign on it. Near that table you will find a designated display area for your research team (i.e., look for the set of panel boards that have your research teams title on it). Each student will get one panel to display their poster; the usable area of each panel is (47.5” x 69”). See photo below:

You will adhere your poster to the panel using a strip of the BLUE Painters Tape. We will give this to you on the day of the Urban Expo when you come in to set up. We will give you a 12-18” long strip of the BLUE Painters Tape. You will simply roll it over itself and use it to stick the poster to the boards. Standard double sided tape is impossible to remove from the boards so PLEASE don’t use it.

Sample Posters

A Senior Sequence student Michael Linn did the poster to this airport poster (36″x50″). Click this link (288k jpg) or the thumbnail image to the right to see a larger copy of the poster.

Click this link (1.2m pdf) to see a higher quality version of the same image,including some technical tips by Michael. While the poster looks very good, it doesn’t give you a very clear sense of the actual research question or his methods. Refer to this template for the totality of elements you should include in your poster (poster_template ppt)

SciVee Postercasts

See the community (multimedia archive) established for the Senior Sequence on UCSD’s SciVee web site at http://www.scivee.tv/node/5564

SciVee is a youtube like space for scientists and researchers eager to do a better job sharing their scholarly work. We already a USP community set up in SciVee. see:

Here are the 5 postercast award winners from last year (as judged by Apryl Bailey for presentation flow, syncronization and by Lynn Fink for clarity)

A SciVee Postercast is created when you combine: a video with your poster.  After you upload your video and poster, you can select areas of your poster to appear as your video plays to create a compelling record of your poster presentation to share with your colleagues.

To learn more about creating a postercast, check out the tutorial or the postercast help section on the SciVee web site.  http://www.scivee.tv/help/view/157

Combining your video with your poster will allow viewers to really get a closer look at your findings/data.

Using SciVee’s synchronization tool, you can select parts of your poster to pop up on the screen at specific points as your video/audio plays. A postercast is an excellent way to document your presentation and quickly share with many other people the main points of your research.

Your postercast will be limited to 3 minutes (strictly enforced). This is enough time to cover the major highlights of your poster effectively. We think SciVee postercasts will help spread the word about your research.

Besides the SciVee postercast you are encouraged to use Multimedia in more inventive ways (a mini-documentary showcasing your research teams accomplishments). But this is not required.
