I am doing a poster for the ASU Student Health Center on sleep deprivation. Basically, a sleep expert is coming in to talk about it. I looked on google for examples of poster, but to no avail. Help me out a 'lil!?

Get some ideas from the symptoms...
Exhaustion, fatigue and lack of physical energy are common sleep deprivation symptoms. Exhaustion and fatigue affect our emotional moods, causing pessimism, sadness, stress and anger. The National Sleep Foundation (NSF) has suggested that social problems such as road rage may be caused, in part, by a national epidemic of sleepiness.
The brain's frontal cortex relies on sleep to function effectively. Insufficient rest adversely affects the frontal cortex's ability to control speech, access memory, and solve problems. The effect on physical energy is also startling: otherwise healthy people quickly show symptoms of age and early diabetes as glucose metabolism falls by up to forty percent. These physical reactions disappear when the test subject is allowed to rest properly. Driving and other activities can become dangerous without sufficient rest.

First idea that pops into my head is a poster broken into boxes (grid) and each box having an image/illustration of a symptom. Then some smart line in Helvetica at the bottom...lol

Just don't sleep for 3 days and design the poster when you are ready to collapse at the last minute, to illustrate the effects.
