@ClarkeMargaux Thank you so much !! 🥹🥹🥹

@Cabaebae @ClarkeMargaux I really love the design of this poster!

Another amazing poster by a fellow #ENVIR492 student. Great job @ClarkeMargaux #POEcap #forestry

@MaysenWestling @gy_capstone To answer your second question, I would say that anytime I added an element to my poster I would ask myself whether that element would add to the overall story that I was trying to tell! You’ll learn a lot from peer reviews what information is missing or is too much!

#ENVIR490 students, what questions do you have for #ENVIR492 students about making a capstone poster?

@Cabaebae Thanks Alex!!

@mcgashh Looks great, Ashlyn! Wonderful job!

@myasando Thank you for coming !!!

#POEcap just learned about stormwater runoff and the markings SPU uses for storm drains from @mcgashh , very cool!

Moving forward, storm drain markers should continue to be evaluated using frameworks such as community-based social marketing to improve their effectiveness and SPU should partner with social justice and equity organizations to reach diverse community voices. #POEcap (6/6)

Based on the community-based social marketing criteria, the paint stencil scored the highest. But, the stencil could be greatly improved by integrating the voices of the community and providing more access to information into the design. #POEcap (5/6)

So I evaluated 3 common marking types (stencil, medallion, and mural) on best practices of community-based social marketing which were clear behavior, benefit highlight, at point of decision, community support, and access to more information. #POEcap (4/6)

During the winter, I worked with Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) in their Stormwater Education and Outreach Team. I conducted 11 stormwater expert interviews and a literature review of community-based social marketing techniques and successful campaigns. #POEcap (3/6)

Even though marking is used to reduce these behaviors, it could be greatly improved by integrating frameworks such as community-based social marketing. CBSM emphasizes direct contact with people and considering the specific community when creating solutions. #POEcap (2/6)
