LaTeX Research Posters
Overview
Research posters are a critical medium for scientific communication at conferences, symposia, and academic events. This skill provides comprehensive guidance for creating professional, visually appealing research posters using LaTeX packages. Generate publication-quality posters with proper layout, typography, color schemes, and visual hierarchy.
When to Use This Skill
This skill should be used when:
- Creating research posters for conferences, symposia, or poster sessions
- Designing academic posters for university events or thesis defenses
- Preparing visual summaries of research for public engagement
- Converting scientific papers into poster format
- Creating template posters for research groups or departments
- Designing posters that comply with specific conference size requirements (A0, A1, 36×48", etc.)
- Building posters with complex multi-column layouts
- Integrating figures, tables, equations, and citations in poster format
AI-Powered Visual Element Generation
STANDARD WORKFLOW: Generate ALL major visual elements using AI before creating the LaTeX poster.
This is the recommended approach for creating visually compelling posters:
- Plan all visual elements needed (title, intro, methods, results, conclusions)
- Generate each element using scientific-schematics or Nano Banana Pro
- Assemble generated images in the LaTeX template
- Add text content around the visuals
Target: 60-70% of poster area should be AI-generated visuals, 30-40% text.
Hard limits (do not exceed)
These are limits, not guidelines. Violating them is the single most common cause of a failed poster. Full reasoning, per-graphic-type tables, and worked examples are in references/ai_graphics_for_posters.md.
