Business-Card

A business card in LaTeX, in PDF and PNG

Business Card - as a Magic© card (fun experiment)

For April’s fool in 2021, I got a fun but stupid idea: what if I used an original format for my future business card, using a fake Magic the Gathering card, to present myself and give my contact information as well as profile picture? More details?

Here is the design I liked the most, after about 25 different designs I tried as prototypes of business card for myself:

And in French:

Business Card - in LaTeX

Forked from @JillJenn/Business-Card.

TL;DR: this repo contains a LaTeX file that get compiled to give PDF and PNG business cards! For me, it currently looks like this:

Lilian Besson's business card in LaTeX

Feel free to fork the repo, change and adapt the card file to suits your need, and use it! (AGPLv3 licensed)

Requirements

Build

The simplest way is to just compile the card.tex file to the card.pdf file:

xelatex card

Or by using the Makefile, which compiles to PDF, then convert to GIF and PNG, and cleans temporary files:

make

License?

AGPLv3 because « the original author likes to force people to be free ».
