Latex Poster template for ITC UTwente style posters

modified by Roelof Rietbroek on April 2023 (adapted IGG Uni Bonn template)

This repository contains a set of latex files, a makefile script and some default logos needed to create a latex poster in A0 landscape or Portrait format.

Prerequisites

• A working xelatex installation (in theory pdflatex would work as well buth no Arial fonts can then be used)
• A working bibtex installation
• The program Make (a Makefile is added for convenience)
• Installed Carlito and Arial fonts

Building a Poster in landscape format

Clone the repository and modify the main file

You can change 'ConfPoster201xx' below to suit your needs.

git clone https://gitlab.igg.uni-bonn.de/roelof/ITClatexposter.git Confposter20XX
cd Confposter20xx/
mv ITC_template.tex ConfPoster20xx.tex

and change in the Makefile: main1=ConfPoster20xx (without the .tex)

Add new content boxes and tweak their positions

The template has some example boxes which demonstrates you how new content can be added. New plots and logos should be added to the folder figures/. An example bibtexfile is provided which can be renamed and modified if needed.

Run Make in the new folder

make landscape or just make (and repeat until you get the positions of the boxes right)

Building a Poster in Portrait format

Same as above but you run make portrait

Use pdflatex instead of xelatex

This disables the Arial font for headers, but can be used if no Arial fonts can be installed on the system or if no xelatex is installed. Just uncomment the line #latcom=pdflatex in the Makefile.
