The (unofficial) TUHH LaTeX Beamer Presentation Template Project

The Hamburg University of Technology launched a new Brand Identity on 17.11.2021.
To unify the visual representation of the TUHH, a style guide, Powerpoint templates and additional materials were designed.
As LaTeX is still in heavy use for scientific typesetting and document creating, this project aims to translate the available Powerpoint templates to an equivalent Beamer class.
It has to be noted, that this project is conducted in a purely complementary nature.
Furthermore, LaTeX and in particular Beamer templates are complex, convoluted and delicate pieces of code.
Since we do not have any professional background in LaTeX template design, bugs, inconsistencies and errors might very well occur.

Over the course of this project, we strive to implement all Powerpoint template features, improve consistency and fix reported template errors.
However, even at this early stage, we are confident that the provided document class is able to simple TUHH-styled presentations.
If you'd like to contribute, feel free to contact us, open issues, or implement features and create merge request.

We are happy for any input we can get!

How to use it:

1. Clone the repository
2. Use demo_tuhh_presentation.tex as a starting point
3. Adapt meta-data such as \date, \author, \institute, \telephonenumber
4. Add your own slides

What you can expect:

• A title slide with author, date and title placement
• A default content slide, with slide number, title and date placement
• Integration of custom Poppins font for pdflatex
• Main font specification
• Use of TUHH color schemes

What you can (currently) not expect:

• Section slides
• Stylized tables
• Foot notes
• Stability
• Long-term compatibility
• 100% typesetting (we are working on correct spacings, right now)
