Why it's good: (1) The text colors alternate in a way that makes sense – you could just read the red text (or vice a versa) and get the gist of what this poster is about. (2) The most important information (when and where) is located at the top, in black text (easier to read than red), and with decent spacing and differentiation in text size.

Why it's good: (1) The time and location text is large, making this an easy design to scan. (2) The white background clearly segments these blocks of text and helps lighten the right side of the design. (3) The different colors on the presenters help keep the text box from becoming a non-descript blob.

Course Modules: Visual Design in Canvas
Does it seem odd that a course on visual design would be bad design? A few reasons this course fails: (1) There is a lack of understanding of the audience, who are instructors in Canvas (for example, there's a whole module on "color palettes," probably not a top priority or really even that doable). (2) The recommendations are bad practice for accessibility. It's one thing to create something that's not accessible, but then to actually recommend doing things that are bad for accessibility (like using tables for layout)... it's unconscionable.
