Do you want to create a scientific poster using the University of Bayreuth design? Are you familiar with LaTeX? Then read on!
A Poster Based on the Corporate Design of University of Bayreuth
Requirements¶
- LaTeX extension beamerposter (accompanying git)
- The required LaTex Files and fonts
- Most of the packages listed in the example
poster.tex. Admittedly, I was a bit lazy finding out which are essential. - XeLaTeX
Description¶
Extract the content of the example bundle into a new folder to start a new LaTeX project. The example ships with an example tex-file as well as the required fonts.
On Ubuntu, call
xelatex poster.tex
inside the folder to compile the poster.
Customizing the Footer¶
You can tweak the footer of the poster by defining a \footerarea. The example shows how to add some personal information to that area.
If you omit the \footerarea, the dark gray area disappears and a green line remains at the bottom of the poster. This is often helpful when printing the poster as the end of the printed area is often invisible.
Customizing the Header¶
You can tweak the logo area of the poster by defining a \logoarea. You could, for example, add your own logo there. The poster.tex contains an example of how to do that.
Since the UBT logo ships with the LaTeX style, you can always integrate the UBT logo using
\includegraphics{Logo-Uni-BT_gruen-sw.eps}
