Creating Posters with LATEXand xfig
Compiled by Matthew Dean, Tim Waterhouse, Dirk Kroese, Jon Links and others.
The following links will give you some assistance in creating a poster for a conference, or for the School of Physical Sciences Poster Day, as well as outlining the specific procedure for printing your poster for Poster Day. You are, of course, free to produce your poster with any program you choose, provided it meets the given requirements. The advantage of a poster produced directly in LaTeX is, of course, that the entire range of mathematical functionality is at your disposal.
