From this page you can download LaTeX files for
creating a colorful poster in size A0, either in portrait or landscape
format.
We assume that you have some basic knowledge in LaTeX, for the
beginners there is some links in the end of this page.
The possibilities for changing the colors of the
background, textboxes etc are huge, we provide two well commented
examples of each kind of format, portrait and landscape.
You can also transfer your poster to A4 size with
help of e.g. the LaTeX script
convert2a4Portrait.tex, this
is
very useful for checking the layout on an ordinary printer
before printing in A0 size.
