 # posterdown
 
+As a graduate sudent, I found that it is almost a right of passage to take early research and analysis and generate a conference poster allowing for critical feedback as well as meeting the people in your feild. I have also noticed that many of my fellow graduate students use R and are also getting their feet wet with RMarkdown :blush:; however, we always had to go back to using MS Powerpoint or Keynote for generating conference posters :unamused:. Posterdown was created as a proof of concept (to myself) that it is possible to make a beautiful poster using open source reproducible code.

+Please feel free to give me feedback or requests for changes in the [issues](https://github.com/brentthorne/posterdown/issues) page. I am currently finishing up my masters so I will have limitted time to work on updating this package in the next few months but nevertheless I will do what I can! :smile:

+### Markdown Customization
+
+As you add content to your RMarkdown file you will notice the output pdf will fill in columns from left to right as well as top to bottom. If you have more content to fit than what is available on the default poster try altering the number of columns as well as the font size to make it work.
