Poster Template for Apple's Pages
May 4th, 2005 by admin
Ok, a little late but as promised here is a poster template for Apple’s Pages. This is by far the best program for making scientific posters that I’ve seen. Support for vector graphics, floating and in-line images, easy columns. Very nice. Certainly no need to use Powerpoint (or even Keynote for that matter) anymore, please.
If you use this template, it’d be nice of you to leave a comment below saying what you did or did not like about it. It would also be nice if you gave the Mac Singularity web site a little-font credit in your acknowledgments, but that’s not mandatory.
I suppose if it truly became popular at AAS we’d have a bunch of posters looking the same and that’d be silly. So, I should come up with some alternative color schemes and fonts and all.

I am glad I found your site. It seems that Pages would be great at making a poster, but searching the apple web site did not give any direction. I will try your template. Thanks for making it

Hello,
I did a search for “Pages and Poster”, and found your site.
I used your template to create my first poster which I will submit at an International Meeting for MRI Technologists in Berlin this May. When I spoke with my fellow mac users that had previously submitted posters, they all used .ppt.
Thanks Again.

Thanks for this. I had been planning to do my poster (for Persuasion 07, Stanford, April 26-27) in Keynote, but Pages is much better.

Hi there, I’m so glad to have found your website as well. This is the first time I’m making a poster, and everyone in our lab uses Powerpoint. Since I switched to iWork I was really loathe to start using PP for this…and couldn’t find an easy way to do this in Keynote. Thanks so much for putting this online! I’ll be at ASM this year using it!

Hey, if you ended up updating the template and want to share any changes you’ve made, that would be great

Love the template and wanted to thank you for making it available. Will be presenting at an AERA (American Education Research Association) in March. You just made my life much simpler. Thanks.
Will definitely credit you as the source!!

I was about to do this! Thanks! I couldn’t agree more that Pages is the best program for this, unless you want to go overboard and use something like Adobe InDesign. It highlights office’s lack of a powerful and intuitive publication layout tool.
p.s. Nice reference… AYBABTU!

Nice! Really Nice. I wrote my whole NIH grant in pages. It totally hammers Word for complex page layouts with text and graphics. the instant alignment is cool too. Looking good was worth $1.25M this time around. The Gill Sans is a good touch. Office 08 is even worse than the previous versions. I will never go back.

I love Pages for not only posters, but word processing as well- It is so much better than Word when you want to include graphics. But then I’m a long time Mac fan since the first MacIntosh (and I mean the first—I still miss that little machine but not its small screen) Thanks for the template! I plan to use it for my AP physics classes.

I open the template directly into pages. I try to print it without changing any settings and it only prints one page (the bottom left hand corner). I can’t figure out how to get it to print the whole poster. Is there a specific setting that needs to be changed?
Thanks,
WJ

I am a mac newbie and found your site. I just created a poster for an upcoming Spitzer meeting using your template and found it very easy to use and manipulate. Easy to switch between 2 cols, 3 cols, font colors and sizes, etc. Good job, and thanks for making it so easy (of course there will be an acknowledgement at the bottom of my poster for you!)

Thanks for the template, it saved me a lot of time. While I’m not using it exactly, it provided an easy starting point for modifications for my poster at IUPAC 2009 next week.

Sweet! I too love iWorks and pages for APA term papers. Glad I found this template for a scientific poster I need to prepare. Busy mom to a 9 month old, two graduate courses and no time to fool around trying to figure out software. Thank you thank you thank you.

Thank you so much for the template! I’m going to use it for a research competition next month. This really saves a lot of time
