Using Really Simple Syndication

Below is my poster assignment, done on RSS Feeds.


For this presentation, I focused less on the information (though whatever information was used, I took from Will Richardson's book) and more on the design. I chose to cater more to the Information Processing principles of color coordination with text, making sure that it was easy to read. The original PowerPoint template had green and red as the background colors, but I changed the red to blue because I felt the colors flowed better together. I also made the boxes where text exist a little less transparent so it was easier to read. I also used the principles of symmetry and order found in the Gestalt Principles. All of the columns are the same size and color, with the same formatting for any other aspect of the slide. I also gave the title a box so that everything was similiar. I placed a green apple on either side of the title so that there was symmetry as well as more color coordination.

Hope you enjoyed it!

  1. Great choice of color. The layout is good - the only thing I would change is to include less text in sentences and more in bullet form so readers can quickly get a sense of what your poster is about without having to read as much.
