In my free time I'm interested in typesetting (Typst adopter), and poster
design.
I am a big fan of the work of Edward Tufte on visual communication of
information.
For academic posters, I enjoy experimenting with layouts and colors to engagingly communicate research findings.
Some of the posters I designed or was involved in designing:
I use Inkscape, a vector editor, for creating posters and other graphics.
I advise to not use templates or to prefer those that prioritize simplicity rather than lots of content.
