Business Card

=============

Example:



    

    



How this business card was designed, is explained in [this blog post](https://olivierpieters.be/blog/2017/02/11/designing-a-business-card-in-latex).

Requirements

------------

* Recent TeX installation (tested on a 2017 one)

* XeLaTeX

* [Font Awesome](https://github.com/xdanaux/fontawesome-latex)

* [Fira Sans](https://github.com/mozilla/Fira)

It is also possible to use [this Docker container](https://hub.docker.com/r/accupara/business-cards/):

```shell

docker run \

    --rm -it \

    -v `pwd`:/tmp/src accupara/business-cards \

    /bin/bash -c 'cd /tmp/src/src ; xelatex front.tex;'

```

Installing Dependancies on Ubuntu or Debian

-------------------------------------------

``` shell

sudo apt install texlive-latex-recommended texlive-latex-extra texlive-fonts-recommended texlive-fonts-extra

```

Building Documents

------------------

Build the front and back sides with XeLaTeX:

```shell

xelatex src/front.tex

xelatex src/back.tex

```

SVG Files

---------

LaTeX is not equipped to handle SVG files directly. A conversion to a PDF file is needed. This can be done using an external tool such as Inkscape:

```shell

inkscape --without-gui --export-area-drawing --file=logo.svg --export-pdf=logo.pdf

```
