\setlayerframed[preset=lefttop][offset=1cm,align=normal]{the content}

the best appoach is to typeset the doc and poster indepently, see 
attached file

- poster-0.tex : basic style
- poster-1.tex : usage in doc
- poster-2.tex : poster building

- poster-x.tex : small patch

(the few lines patch to page-imp.tex is neeed to make my live easier)

one can overload colors in the document itself

it's far from perfect but it shows the idea; now, if you (and maybe 
others) can cook up specs of what you want, i can make a series of 
s-pos-*.tex files that you can then built upon; a kind of on-line 
tutorial in style writing; when done, you can write a myway document an 
article for the maps  -)
