I currently don’t have a great title, but I do photography in my spare time. In my past life I taught evolutionary biology at Swarthmore College, baked desserts for Denison University, and kept bees.

If you’re local and want to drop something off, my favorite beer is Rogue’s Imperial IPA XS. Also loves me some Rogue Juniper Pale Ale. I’d drink Rogue waste-water, to be honest — I’m sure it’s great.
Hello,
Just wanted to express my enormous gratitude for you incredible article on poster presentations. A QI project at work has been accepted for two different national (healthcare) conferences. I have never made a poster at this level, so was thrilled to find such an informative (and entertaining) “guide”.
Many, many thanks :)
Dear Colin,
Thank you for your wonderful write-up on Designing conference posters.
I have to make a poster, which is how I found your site.
I made an outline of what should be in the poster, following your write-up.
Would it be fair for me to post the outline, with full credit to you?
Please take a look at http://verticalsysadmin.com/blog/uncategorized/making-conference-posters
If you don’t like it, I’ll take it down immediately.
I had an idea an outline would be useful in the process of creating a poster. One could just follow it step by step, filling in each section.
Also, as a completely separate question, may I ask if you ever design posters profesionally, and if so, what are your rates, please?
Yours truly,
Aleksey
