How to make a poster with latex?

[symbol0]

Does anybody have a latex file that I can use as a template to make a 48 x 36 poster?
Any help is welcomed.

Hi symbol0,

I think it would be a good idea to first choose a latex package to install for creating posters, and then the websites for those packages usually have examples that you can use for a template. For example, I have used beamerposter in the past, which you can find here along with some examples:

There are other packages (a0poster, sciposter,etc.) but I have never used them and don't know if they are better in some sense.


If you do want a latex file without installing any specialized poster packages, you might try something like the template RomePoster.tex near the bottom of this page:

but I think the poster packages would look much nicer.
