Poster Design Workshop

We'll be hosting a poster design workshop at 2 in the afternoon in the Microsoft Innovation Center on Monday the 12th. Andrea Brandtner and Aaron Perkins from the Graphic Design Center (http://www.gdc.pdx.edu/) will come and tell us what makes a successful poster from a graphic design perspective. They will present some general techniques for effective information presentation and critique a few computer science posters from this department.

Graduate students and faculty are encouraged to attend. I have noticed that computer scientists generally know what should go on their conference poster, sometimes know how much to put on it, but rarely know how to make it attractive (myself included). This workshop will give us some pointers.

When the workshop is complete, we'll post some notes here.
