What problem does it solve? Designing a conference research poster from scratch is time-consuming and error-prone: choosing a LaTeX poster package, configuring page dimensions, setting readable typography, and passing print-shop quality checks all require specialized knowledge. This Skill provides templates, design guidance, and quality-control workflows to produce print-ready academic posters. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Three LaTeX poster packages: Ready-to-use templates for beamerposter, tikzposter, and baposter covering classic, modern, and minimal styles. - Design and layout guidance: Reference docs covering typography (24pt+ body text), color-blind friendly palettes, grid systems, and visual hierarchy for A0/A1 and 36x48 inch formats. - PDF quality control: Systematic review checklist with pdfinfo, pdffonts, and pdfimages commands to verify page size, font embedding, and 300 DPI image resolution before printing. - Use Case: A graduate student needs an A0 portrait poster for a conference. They pick a tikzposter template, fill in sections following the 300-800 word content guide, compile with pdflatex, and run the review checklist to confirm fonts are embedded before sending to the printer. ## Quick Start Create an A0 portrait research poster about my study using the tikzposter template with a three-column layout and a color-blind friendly palette.
