Matthew's Journal

Need week I need to design a scientific poster to take to ISVEE. I want to have a reasonably good end result, hopefully without too much pain. My computer runs Macos X, although I also have access to solaris and linux boxes (well, I could probably get my hands on a Windows box if I really had to).

I've occasionally had to interact with powerpoint, and hated it. I have reasonable LaTeX skills, but am not, for example, up to writing my own class files. I'm not sure how best to approach getting this poster done (assume I have most of the graphs &c I want to use already sorted out).

Any further comments (e.g. sugestions of specific tools / LaTeX packages / Powerpoint macros) gratefully received...
