Reflection: While working on this poster; I learned how to summarize what could have been a 10-page paper into just a research poster. Also, my collaboration skills improved. Reflecting on this poster, there are some minor things I would do differently. In this design, I would pick a more professional color blue and change the Facebook logos to match. Since I know more about design, I would choose better colors for the poster. Also, instead of using two MSU logos, I would use one or create a watermark to add more color to the poster. This poster turned out well. I learned a great amount of information. This poster was also presented in the classroom. This poster was created in the course title Trends & Issues in Instructional System & Technology.
