% Notes for Poster Design:
|
||
% 1. Font sizes (for A0 poster):
|
||
% - Title: 80-100pt
|
||
% - Authors: 60pt
|
||
% - Section headers: 50-60pt
|
||
% - Body text: 32-36pt (set by beamerposter scale)
|
||
% - Captions: 28-32pt
|
||
%
|
||
% 2. Use colorblind-safe colors (Okabe-Ito palette provided)
|
||
%
|
||
% 3. Keep text minimal - use bullets, not paragraphs
|
||
%
|
||
% 4. Make figures large and clear
|
||
%
|
||
% 5. Use white space effectively - don't crowd
|
||
%
|
||
% 6. Test readability from 6 feet (2 meters) away
|
||
%
|
||
% 7. Include QR code linking to paper, lab website, or supplementary materials
|
||
%
|
||
% 8. Print at professional print shop (FedEx Office, university print center)
|
||
%
|
||
% 9. Common poster sizes:
|
||
% - A0: 841 × 1189 mm (33.1 × 46.8 in)
|
||
% - 36" × 48" (914 × 1219 mm)
|
||
% - Check conference requirements!
|
||
%
|
||
% 10. Compile with: pdflatex beamerposter_academic.tex
