# Poster-Session-Boostrap

Designing posters can be a real chore especially if you're a
perfectionist. Poster-Session-Boostrap allows you to focus on the
content of the poster rather than the design.

## Preview

Yes it's boring. You can jazz it up yourself.

Did I mention it's responsive?

## Usage

```
git clone https://github.com/audy/poster-session-bootstrap.git
cd poster-session-bootstrap
bundle

# run webserver on http://localhost:4567
# automatically updates when changes are made.
rake preview

# saves a screenshot of the page to screenshot.png
# (must have Firefox installed, and `rake preview` must be running)
rake render
open screenshot.png
```

Edit the markdown files in `views/` to add content. Change `layout.haml`
if you want to alter the design.

## Caveats!!

It is still difficult to convert the page into something that can be printed on
a large poster. I achieved this by rendering a really large png file. In the
future, it would be cool if a PDF in the right dimensions and resolution could
be generated.
