A promotional poster features a bold green and teal design with large white and turquoise text. At the top, the poster reads: “ONLINE SKILLS WORKSHOP.” Beneath this, in bright turquoise text, the session title says: “Understanding & Using Feedback.” Further down, white text provides the date and time: “Fri 13 Feb 13:30–14:30.” Below this is a smaller line of text that reads: “Book in at Library events — click on the link in our bio.” Decorative quotation‑mark icons appear around the edges of the poster. At the bottom left is the University of Exeter logo and name.
