LaTeX-Template for the TU Corporate Design
One of the latest inventions of the TU administration has been a new
standard layout for letters, websites, business cards, and other
things. Unfortunately, the responsible department for corporate design
did not provide LaTeX-templates and will probably not do so for some
time to come. Hence, I implemented the new layout in LaTeX myself.
Usage in our group
Here you find a template document
'latbrief.tex' based on a new documentclass 'latbrief.cls' registered
in the LaTeX-database.
In order to use the template, simply download the file and follow the
instructions provided in the file to customize it. Note that the
underlying documentclass supports several options specifying the
desired language, typeface, and text size to be used in the
letter. Moreover, the addresser column in the header as well as the
footer can be removed.
- language: 'german' (default) or 'english'
- typeface: 'times' (default), 'helvetica', or
'computermodern' (LaTeX-standard)
- size: '10pt', '11pt', or '12pt' (default)
- header: 'addresser' (default), 'noaddresser'
- footer: 'footer' (default), nofooter
Installation elsewhere
In order to install all necessary files on another machine, use this
zip-file containing:
- latbrief.cls, the underlying LaTeX-documentclass,
- latbrief.tex, a template letter showing how to use 'latbrief.cls',
- tulogo-sw.eps, the astonishing new logo :-).
In order to use the template, first make sure that 'latbrief.cls' and
'tulogo-sw.eps' are found in your TeXinputs. (If all else fails, put
them into the same folder as 'latbrief.tex'.)
Do not distribute
At the current state of affairs, please do not distribute the above
files outside our group. Corporate Design seems to be a delicate topic
at the moment :-). Also, note that the new layout is neither
aesthetically pleasing nor efficient under a work-flow perspective. I
have simply implemented the guidelines provided by the CD-bogeys.
