Formats and Styles
The PDF files below represent some example formats and styles to use. Some examples have been annotated to point out good and bad features.
Here is a (somewhat mediocre ) example of a poster. For better examples, check out the posters at the scs-math.org website.
This was based on some example on the Internet. The PDF was generated using a free web-based LaTeX service. The LaTeX header for this is
\documentclass[final,t]{beamer}
\mode<presentation>
{
\usetheme{Madrid}
}
\usepackage[orientation=landscape,size=a1,scale=1,debug]{beamerposter}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\parindent0em
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\pgfplotsset{compat = newest}
Sources for better examples can be found with a web search.
We have a bad example (combinatorial methods) and a not-so-bad example (fresh look) of slide sets, with annotations for each slide. These are both plain slide styles. The examples indicate how effective blank space can be at communication.
