2019 Winner – Sarah O’ Leary (3^rd year)

Tabletting – Single Punch Vs Rotary Press

Sarah’s poster captured the key points of the topic and gathered them in a structured manner. The poster itself was well laid and visually very easy to follow. Sarah’s poster showed that information can be relayed to the reader using key points and supporting imagery, as opposed to overwhelming the reader with an abundance of text, that often over complicates the topic. Sarah is a very worthy winner!
