LaTeX Poster

This style was created to keep a consistent design of the posters created in our group. It uses of the beamerposterpackage which allows to create posters in the same way slides in the beamer package. The is very comfortable because beamer offers a lot of automatic layout features like columns, boxes and so on. Since beamer is not really designed for poster layout we have a special beamertheme suited for preparing wonderful posters, as you can see to the right. This style is installed on all of our office machines. In case you need it for your own computer you can download it here:
beamerthemecpbgposter.sty
To get used to this kind of poster preparation we provide an example poster which contains some usefull informations and a well commented source code.
CPBGposter.pdf
CPBGposter.tex
You also need the university logo in the same directory with the filename logo.pdf.
[Jacobs Logos^logo.pdf] (if this link is red shaded, please login first).
If you want to create your own poster you can use this empty template file to get started:
CPBGtemplate.tex
The example poster already shows most of the things you will need to make a nice poster. But if you need more information you should have a look into the beamerguide bacause it explains most of the things.
