  1. Hello team, overall a well put together poster. The colour choice is pleasant and allows the poster to be read easily online. In addition, the way the thin lines are used to separate sections is clever and works efficiently. The language is simple which makes the understanding of information easy. There is not a lot of dead/wasted space on the poster highlighting the clever design choice. Moreover, this case is applicable to the real world so it is worth discussing and seeing what solutions can be found.
    For improvements then, I wish there was some discussion on how to improve this man’s situation. Perhaps this could be included where the IPB analysis is tied all together section. Another suggestion I have is to make it less wordy. It is difficult to determine how well this style would translate to a poster printout to be read in person. Also, due to the wordiness, I believe many people would skim over the content or not finish reading everything if you were competing for attention against other posters.
    In the perspectives section, you note four key perspectives. To make it easier to identify the four perspectives, I would number the four so they are easier to refer to. Lastly, it is my understanding not to use abbreviations such as “can’t” in professional text such as a poster.
    I believe you forgot to include the Vancouver-style references as I do not see any numbers anywhere.

  2. Hello all,
    thank you for letting me view and provide feedback on your poster.
    Overall I think this poster looks very professional and easy to follow. You can tell that lots of thought has been done on the topic and you all have a good understanding of it and of an IPB analysis, however, it is important in an IPB analysis to provide a summary of the connections of Interrelationships, perspectives, and boundaries adding this to your poster would make all the components connect and provide fluidity. I think the title does a great job of capturing the topic of the poster, however, the title is broad referring to the entire population whereas the poster is specific to the individual case of Martin. I believe it would be beneficial to leave the title and broaden the IPB analysis to be about the population while also identifying the population not just this one specific case. I will also suggest trying to condense the sentences to make them more concise and allow for more space for visuals. When discussing how your poster is seen in Word press I have some suggestions to make it easier to view and more visually appealing. Make sure that you are posting the poster so that we are able to see it when we click on your topic, to do this you post it under the Image Project File (JPEG, PNG). You can test this out on the test site to see what it looks like. This just makes it easier for your viewers so they don’t have to download your document it is just there and available to see. Also to draw more attention to your topic and your poster it is beneficial that you have a bright and engaging feature photo that relates to your topic. Lastly, I just want to mention that I do not see any references in your poster and there is no reference document posted. The rubric calls for 10 references, so I would suggest adding them to get your full marks.
    I think you have a great topic and a great patient scenario with many layers to discuss and with the integration of some of the suggestions I have presented, this will be an ever-better poster.
    I look forward to your final draft.

  3. Hi team,
    Well done on your draft poster! Here’s some feedback I put together for you:

    The content was clearly outlined with the use of headings. The scenario was very specific, giving the reading a clear picture of what’s happening. Each section is very well detailed, pinpointing key information in regard to the scenario. One suggestion I would make is adding another section with some solutions. This might add a comprehensive view to the reader of both the issue and ways to to address it. It was great that you added NSWOC into your interrelationships section. I would suggest maybe writing the title out or just writing out “wound care nurse” to make it easier for the reader. The same goes for BKA. I suggest writing it out initially and then adding the abbreviation in brackets to continue the use of the abbreviated version thereafter.

    The poster is very aesthetically pleasing. Well done! I appreciated the layout of your poster. The scenario being at the top left corner, leading into the IPB sections allows the viewer to follow along seamlessly. With that, I appreciated the clear sections of the different core values of systems thinking (IPB) with the addition of the heading within each. The thin lines used to separate the sections were also very good. I noticed that it’s one big line that sort of connects to the next section which plays into the contentedness of IPB. This might not have been intentional but it looks great. The font is a good size but one thing that could be changed is the amount of information on the poster. Maybe having the information in point form could have it easier on the eyes. I get distracted easily and have a hard time following along. This could prompt viewers to skim over the poster and miss important information. It might not be the case for all viewers but just something to keep in mind. The color used was perfect. It was not overpowering, giving the poster a calm and inviting feel. It would have been nice to have the poster posted directly onto the WordPress website without having to click file upload. Maybe a suggestion for the final poster 🙂

    Lastly, I didn’t see a reference list attached to this however I’m not sure if we needed to include this with our draft. This is just a friendly reminder to not forget to do so for the final poster. I look forward to the final poster and seeing you all present!

  4. Hello team this is a very well put together poster. It looks very professional and is easy on the eyes to look at. The divisions between sections are clear but not intrusive. I especially like the little picture accents on some of the dividers. It is very clear that you have done lots of research on the topic and you explain your topic very clearly. You use nice simple language that is easy to understand which is great as well. I also really like how you made it easy to distinguish your IPB sections from each other.
    Some improvements to be made might include the explaining of abbreviations like BKA. I do not remember but I think you can use them if you have stated what each abbreviation means somewhere in the poster. I also find that while your poster looks great it is primarily in text format and posters usually try to have some other forms of information presentation like charts/graphs or diagrams. Maybe try to add some small images that link sections together if you can. Also you might want to edit your title to have something like “Martins” case or “a case study” at the end as right now it seems like the poster is about a huge group but the information presented is about a specific case and not generalized.
    Lastly I am curious as to how you cited information sources as I do not see any signs that link information to your references.
    Overall, very nice draft and I am looking forward to the finished version.
