ggplot colours https://github.com/thoughtfulbloke/theme_otago

To install the package and template for the posters use

devtools::install_github("brentthorne/posterdown")

Full instructions are at Brent's github repo including all the options for changing font size and other settings.

Use the File / New File / R Markdown.. / From Template / Posterdown HTML or Posterdown BetterLand or Posterdown BetterPort dialog pathway to create the template poster.

in the console rmarkdown::draft(file = "mydraft.Rmd", template = "posterdown_betterland", package = "posterdown", create_dir=FALSE)

As of February 2020 settings need to be changed in the header of the .Rmd Document that is created. The goal will be to create a full Otago University Template to install and run with the appropriate colours and logos embeded.
