New Poster Guidelines For Student Body
Due to the pressing concern over the potential of student posters to disturb campus operations, spread cryptic messages, and incite joy and whimsy, the newly-created Triumvirate Council (an emergency committee consisting of Audrey Bilger, Karnell McConnell-Black, and the resurrected Dexter Keezer) issued the following 13 poster guidelines. These guidelines are binding, and posters not following these guidelines will be towed.
All posters, if printed, must be made using LaTeX with proper BibTeX citations in IEEE citation style.
All printed posters must be in any of the following fonts: Baskervald ATF, Bookman, Wingdings, Garamond, or European Computer Concrete with Euler Math.
All printed posters must be first downloaded as a PDF, then converted to an XML file, then converted to a JPG, then converted to a WEBP, then converted to a GIF before being printed.
If not printed, all posters must be written on Commons napkins or copies of the Quest from the following years: 2014, 2006, 1986, 1972, 1950, or 1939.
Non-printed posters must be made with calligraphy done exclusively by Gregory MacNaughton.
All posters must use no more than four but no less than three primary colors.
All posters must be in any of the following languages: Scots Gaelic, Old Hijazi Arabic, Gothic, Classical Nahuatl, Esmerelda, Numidian, or Mongolian.
All images featured on posters must be of one of three things: a rooster, a roast beef sandwich, or Burunduk Khan, third Khan of the Kazakh Khanate (1480-1511). Artistic interpretation can vary but luminist art is strictly forbidden.
Posters are allowed a maximum of three capital letters. Use them wisely.
Posters must be made in such a way as to minimize white space however possible. Posters with too much white space will be amended with neoclassical interpretations of Burunduk Khan riding a rooster and eating a roast beef sandwich.
Posters must be able to be read upside down, backwards, inside out, up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, now do the Cupid Shuffle.
The use of the word “juxtaposition” (in any of the allowed languages) is allowed once per square meter. You may use the word juxtaposition, but you may not juxtapose it with another usage.
Posters must have an area consisting of 12 femtobarns (1.2e-42 m^2) or less. We understand that this creates issues in knowing the exact position and velocity of posters due to quantum uncertainty and we ask students to prioritize knowing the poster’s exact position and disregard velocity. We ask students to place posters in designated infinite square wells in order to maintain clean poster layout during tour days.
