a.  What went well?
Our research went very well.

b.  What did not?
The communication among group members was not very good, so there were times when we weren't sure what the other two were doing.

c.  What would you do differently next time?
Make sure that we were all communicating and on the same page.

d.  Specifically comment on the 10 tips for effective infographics--which areas did you excel in?  Which were not so well represented?  Why do you think some elements of design were easier or harder to include in the end product?
We definitely excelled at being concise and varied, because the disaster was well summarized and the poster was not repetitive or monotonous.  The poster was also pretty attractive, and the information was definitely accurate.  However, I don't think it was very original or creative.  Visually, it didn't flow very well.  It was hard to make the poster stand out visually, because there few good, powerful images relating to the disaster.  It also wasn't particularly "smart," since we didn't really include much solid numerical data, and I wouldn't say it was transparent or gracious, because we didn't cite our sources.
