Senior Sequence

Poster/Multimedia Tips

*If you want your poster printed by Micheal Smith (Map Librarian; GIS Coordinator,
Social Sciences & Humanities Library) at the Geisel Library GIS Lab it must have a GIS component. Let me know if you plan to take advantage of Mike’s large format (poster) printer so we can coordinate all student requests in a timely and respectful fashion. To get the idea of what he can and cannot do see: http://ucsd.libguides.com/content.php?pid=42741&sid=1819539

Guide to creating a story board (poster)

On Wednesday, March 14, 2012 (between 1pm and 9pm), the day before the Urban Expo, you must set up your poster in Ballroom B of UCSD’s Price Center.  Doors open to the public the following day, Thursday, March 15, 2012 at 9am.  Your posters will be organized by Areas of Concentration. Look for the table with your Area of Concentration. We will give you a sheet with all these details in advance of March 14 to avoid any confusion. 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 when you arrive to the ballroom on Wed 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.

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.
