Appendix D: A Sample Poster
2016
Posters are an effective means of communicating research results at meetings and conferences. To attract the attention of passersby, posters usually make the most of striking graphics, eye-catching colors, and large font sizes. Color cannot be reproduced here, so we have to depend on grayscales and the imagination of the reader. We illustrate the making of a poster with the a0poster document class, although we note that alternative LATEX classes are also in use. LATEX’s logical design approach does not lend itself to dragging, dropping, and resizing elements. Hence, some trial and error is typically required. For mathematically oriented posters, this inconvenience is outweighed by the access to high-quality, pin-sharp technical typesetting.
