LaTeX templates and examples — University of Illinois at Chicago

This template adheres to the university's new style guide post the brand refresh in 2020. I created this in March 2023 using the SINTEF template as a basis. Since then, I've done many iterations, some visual and others on the example slides to demonstrate the most useful LaTeX/Beamer features for presentations. The default font (Open Sans) has been chosen for its wide spacing (and hence clarity in a scientific setting). The example slides have detailed instructions on using custom fonts if you prefer. Logos for ECE, CS and MSCS departments are included. Other departments, please see instructions in the example slides.

This template was created mainly to keep things organized. In terms of design rules, it closely follows the UIC ECE thesis template. Although it was created in 2019, design rules may change in the future. So you might need to update the contents in the `bin' folder and modify some lines in the code. However, otherwise, you don't need to touch the `bin' folder. Disclaimer: It's LaTeX. So something may break. Use at your own risk. Check with your department if they published updated design rules.

This presentation template adheres to the University Style Guidelines as specified on https://marketing.uic.edu/marketing-toolbox/university-style-guide/ . Font is the only stylistic element that could not be specified to strictly adhere to these guidelines. Implementing fonts is nontrivial in LaTeX. One could utilize an alternate compiler to implement *.ttf fonts, but I could not figure out how to do this without conflicts/errors. This template can easily be adapted to other departments using the UIC logos available on the marketing.uic.edu website.
