Stanford Gemini

Stanford Gemini is a modern LaTeX beamerposter theme based on the original Gemini project.

If you're looking for a beamer presentation theme, take a look at Auriga.

Note

We do not currently have a version of Auriga for our group yet.

FAQ

At the moment, we do not have our own Wiki or FAQ for this project. However, please see the FAQ from the original project, as it may answer some of the questions.

Here are some tips you may want to be aware of those:

• By default, the stanford style is used in the poster.tex file. If you would like to make your own style, please read the original project's Wiki and FAQ.
• We provide several logos for Stanford and our group in the logos directory. If you would like to modify which logo you'd like to use, look for the Logo section in the poster.tex file to make your changes. By default, we use Stanford + our group name and the Stanford Tree at the top.

Themes

Gemini currently includes three color themes:

• stanford (default)
• gemini
• mit
• labsix

The alternative themes are intended to be inspiration for you to make your own color theme. You're highly recommended to make your own color theme (it's really easy!) or use the default Stanford theme. To use one of the other themes, simply update the line usecolortheme{} in poster.tex to one of the above mentioned themes. Or use your own theme, e.g. awesome (assuming your theme is in the file beamercolorthemeawesome.sty)
