# 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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic:_The_Gathering) card, to present myself and give my contact information as well as profile picture? [More details?](experimental-Magic-cards/) Here is the design I liked the most, after about 25 different designs I tried as prototypes of business card for [myself](https://GitHub.com/Naereen): ![Carte_Visite_Magic__Lilian_Besson__1er_avril_2021_-3.png](card-2021-english.png) And in French: ![Carte_Visite_Magic__Lilian_Besson__1er_avril_2021_-3.png](card-2021.png) ---- # Business Card - in LaTeX > Forked from [@JillJenn/Business-Card](https://GitHub.com/JillJenn/Business-Card). TL;DR: this repo contains a [LaTeX file](card.tex) that get compiled to give PDF and PNG business cards! For [me](https://GitHub.com/Naereen), it currently looks like this: ![Lilian Besson's business card in LaTeX](card.png) Feel free to fork the repo, change and adapt the [card](card.tex) file to suits your need, and use it!
