What is in the download
Each bundle is a zip containing the template source, its README, and an
assets/ folder with the CU and Physics logos plus example figures.
The templates reference those assets by relative path, so keep the folder
structure as it comes.
The two CU logos are alternatives, not a pair: use the university lockup or the Physics lockup, whichever suits your layout, rather than both. Logos for funders or collaborating institutions are separate and can sit alongside whichever you pick.
The LaTeX and MARP bundles also include a built poster.pdf, so you
can see what the template produces before committing to a toolchain.
Before you submit
- Export your poster to PDF.
- Check the page size is 47.48″ × 35.61″.
- View it at 100% zoom. Anything that looks pixelated on screen at 100% will look worse on paper.
The LaTeX template builds on the Gemini beamer poster theme by Anish Athalye, used under the MIT License.
