Latex Posters

If you're making a conference poster in LaTeX, this handles beamerposter, tikzposter, and baposter with templates for each. It covers standard sizes like A0 and 36×48", multi-column layouts, and the usual sections (methods, results, conclusions). One strong opinion baked in: every poster must include 2-3 AI-generated figures from the scientific-schematics skill, targeting 40-50% visual content. The guidance is opinionated about typography (72-120pt titles, sans-serif fonts) and readability from distance. Includes actual templates in the assets directory and detailed references for layout design and color schemes. Good if you want to skip the "should I use beamer or tikz" decision paralysis.
