SciFund Challenge is very excited to announce a new online class: mastering the art of conference poster design!
Putting together compelling posters is an essential job skill for academics. At a time when succeeding in academia is tougher than ever, standing out from the crowd with your conference poster is key. Unfortunately, very few academics receive any training on how to put together a compelling poster that will actually make your colleagues pay attention. That’s where SciFund Challenge comes in with our online class in effective poster design. Over five weeks, you’ll learn the basics of graphic design and how to use Adobe Illustrator (powerful graphics software). Even better, you’ll be putting your new design learning to work from the start: at the end of the class, you’ll have a poster of your research ready to go. The online class runs from June 7-July 11, 2015. To learn more about the class and to register for it, please see the following: http://scifundchallenge.org/blog/2015/05/11/new-class-mastering-the-art-of-poster-design/ Take care, Jai Ranganathan
