Weeks 123 and 124: Making a poster

There are three weeks until I fly to Hong Kong to attend an international conference. I’ve just started creating my conference poster. This is the first time I’ve designed a research poster, and I’ve read many websites on how to make an effective layout for qualitative research.

I’ve got some worries about creating a poster. My data is long transcripts, and I am struggling to structure an area for the findings. I’m also still deciding whether to take my poster with me or find a place to print it near the venue in HK.

I am very excited to go to Hong Kong for the first time in five years! Luca has successfully arranged 10 days’ holiday in June and will join me.

 

A long way to go

I’ve received my supervisor’s feedback on the updated thesis structure and analytical categories.

There is so much stuff I need to rewrite and elaborate on, which made me feel overwhelmed again. I’ve realised that I am not good at multitasking, and it always affects my inner peace. But I am glad to get a lot of clarification on my drafts before moving forward, and will focus on one important task at a time.

One response to “Weeks 123 and 124: Making a poster”

  1. Have you investigated if the conference can print the poster for you? One that I went to last year did that!
