It shows the location of different types of Earthquakes on the west coast. Star shows location of T. rex pictured below (modified from Chernicoff & Whitney, 2007) How to make a poster: Title should be in Large Letters Summary: These figures have shown you some examples of the different types of graphics you can use on your poster Abstract (Introduction): You should think of your poster as a story board for a movie; you should be able to tell a short story based on the pictures and text on your poster, but you should keep text to a minimum (length = 300-500 words). The graphics should help tell your story; all graphics must have a caption that explains what they show (and cites the source). Bibliography: 1. (Book) Chernicoff & Whitney, 2007.
