Minimalist LaTeX template for academic presentations

Minimalist LaTeX Template for Academic Presentations

This repository contains a minimalist template to write academic presentations with LaTeX Beamer.

Template documentation

The template's documentation is available at https://pascalmichaillat.org/d1/.

Template features

• The font for text, roman math, and numbers is Source Sans Pro.
• The font for Greek and calligraphic math is Euler.
• No colors are used in the text (only black/gray) to reduce distraction.
• Colors are reserved for graphs and alerts.
• Margins, spacing, and font size are set for comfortable reading.
• There are no frills at the periphery of the slides.

Repository content

• presentation.tex – LaTeX file containing the skeleton of the presentation.
• presentation.sty – LaTeX style file collecting all the formatting commands.
• figures.pdf – PDF file with all the figures included in the presentation.
• presentation.pdf – PDF file produced by compiling presentation.tex with pdfTeX.

Template usage

• Fill out presentation.tex with the content of your presentation. Compile the file with pdfTeX.
• presentation.sty must be included in the same folder as presentation.tex. It can be modified to alter the presentation's format.
• Replace the figures in figures.pdf with your own figures—one per page.
• presentation.pdf is not required to use the template. It only illustrate the output of the template, and will be overridden once presentation.tex is compiled.
• The template was developed with the MacTeX-2021 distribution but should hopefully also work with more recent distributions.
