Conference Badge Creator is a CLI tool written in Python 2.7. It aims to automate the process of mass-creating the badge for any event of your liking. It takes an Excel File with the Names/Surnames/Occupations of your conference's attendees and a template badge as input and outputs your named badges in a structured folder format.
Foo Bar Speaker Foo1 Bar1 Volunteer Foo2 Bar2 Random
Final folder structure:
- ConferenceName
- Speakers
- Foo1_Bar1.jpg
- Foo4_Bar4.jpg
- Foo2_Bar2.jpg
- Volunteers
- Foo6_Bar6.jpg
- Other
- Foo3_Bar3.jpg
- Foo3_Bar5.jpg
- Speakers
Each one of the Foo Bar's will have his own folder along with other people who share the same occupation with them. This is done in order to ease the organizing of the badges post-print. The script also includes the option to combine each image to a grid of NxN size for ease at printing on various paper sizes.
Has been tested on Arch Linux. It does not work out of the box, dictTextToImage.py needs adjustments to position the text properly on your badge.
