Critique: Ocean cukes
Today’s poster was generously shared by Bronson Mills!

I like the way the poster is sectioned using colour. And the choice of colours works well: they harmonize well, are not too intense, and don’t interfere with the reading of the text.
I would like to see more of the elements within each section aligned. The middle “Climate change responses” section in particular would benefit from the graphs lining up more precisely.
Similarly, in the bottom left, “The combined effect of these processes is essential for promoting Reef Resilience” is coming too close to the edge of its section. "Reef Resilience" is not a proper noun, so should not be capitalized.
Does not look good to be missing the subscript for “CaCO3” in a heading, particularly when it’s correct (“CaCO3”) in the main text.
I count 502 words of text, which is juuuuuust about right for a conference poster. Those words are in Calibri, if I’m not mistaken. A typeface that is used less would give the poster more character.
