Posters are a great way of conveying your work to others, mostly academic works at conferences, workshops, summer schools, or for showcases such as class presentations and during special events. Formatting a poster correctly can be intimidating, a time consuming process, tedious and highly frustrating if you have little knowledge to tweak with LaTeX macros. To help you quickly and straight away create a nicely formatted, well laid out eye-catching posters, we have prepared a minimum working poster template that can be easily customized to switch between various formats and sizes, such as landscape or portrait, A0, A1, A2, A3 and A4 depending on your needs.

This template assumes all your figures are in the folder named "figures", one level below the folder that contains your .tex file. You will need to install Kile or related LaTeX engines for compiling the source, see The LaTeX Beamer Class.

Here is the complete template:

  1. \documentclass[portrait,a0paper, final, showframe]{baposter}
  2.    %\documentclass{a0poster}
  3.     %\documentclass[a4shrink,portrait,final]{baposter}
