LaTeX Business Card

There are a few nice tutorials on the web on how to make a business card in LaTeX. I started from this one and transformed it to a UMBC theme. I didn’t design this UMBC theme myself; I used a standard UMBC business card that I received, and tried to emulate it as closely as possible.

Note that UMBC people can get their cards printed out at Commonvision and that students get a discount.

Here is an example that uses the template. To generate it, download the following files and place them together in the same directory.

• offsetred.pdf a UMBC logo (from here), converted to PDF format.
• example.tex latex for example.

To generate the PDF on a standard Linux setup:

$ pdflatex example.tex

As usual, you may need to repeat the pdflatex command several times to resolve references in the document. This should yield the PDF file example.pdf You should also be able to compile the example with your favorite LaTeX IDE.
