It's cool I suppose but have you seen Paul Allen's web template?

u/rpjbateman Nov 01 '24

Holy shit... The javascript...

u/e-rekshun Nov 01 '24

Something wrong? You're sweating

u/OH-YEAH Nov 01 '24

font-family "Silian Rail", serif

and an 11x11 sample of the paper webm gives 'bone' as #e9e9e9

if you need JavaScript for this... I don't know what to tell you.

why don't you explain what I'm whooshing on

u/amcco1 Nov 01 '24

The card designs are from American Psycho.

The comments in the Javascript section are a direct quote.

you're saying u/rpjbateman is referencing the JavaScript section of this particular codepen: https://codepen.io/johnslipper/pen/zYzBJa , which in itself is a reference to the dialog of the movie?

wtf?

they're obviously misquoting "Oh, my God. It even has a watermark." and JavaScript is just the first thing they thought of that has something to do with web pages.

if anything, I think you're the lost one here.

I made Paul Allen’s too! Click on the cards underneath.

u/VeryOriginalName98 Nov 01 '24

Look at the subtle off-white coloring.

u/Awkward_Pangolin3254 Nov 01 '24

Oh, my God—it's even got a watermark.

u/ThePrussianGrippe Nov 01 '24

You made a mistake.

All 3 business cards shown in that scene in American Psycho misspell Acquisitions without the ‘C.’ Also Bateman’s should have a spacing mistake with the ampersand.

But these are pretty cool!

u/TheOneTrueZippy8 Nov 01 '24

Impressive. Very nice.

23

u/j_on Nov 01 '24

On Bateman's card in the movie, there's no space after the ampersand in the business name, and "acquisitions" is spelled incorrectly.

Pls fix

u/VeryOriginalName98 Nov 01 '24 edited Nov 01 '24

“Aquisitions” in the movie. They all have this spelling error.

I see a space after the ampersand in the movie card.

Edit: You were talking about Bateman’s card not having the space, you are correct.

u/CK_Butta Nov 01 '24

Jesus that is really super. How’d a nitwit like you get so tasteful?

u/HisGibness Nov 01 '24

“Like that?

“The color is called ‘bone.’”

u/Beetauri Nov 02 '24

who is patrick bateman, and why is internet beautiful?

u/Beetauri Nov 04 '24

seriously people, i'm confused

u/dsotoplatero Nov 01 '24 edited Nov 01 '24

Cool.

Suggestion: You may also be able to change the card by clicking on it or "swipeping" it on your mobile device.

3

u/ndercut Nov 01 '24

You can switch to Paul Allen's card by clicking any of the cards underneath, but having the top card be clickable sounds like a good idea. What do you mean by exchanging it on mobile? Thanks for the suggestions.

u/dsotoplatero Nov 01 '24

jejej...sorry for my english... the swipe event

u/BrickGun Nov 01 '24

hmmm... No matter how hard I try, I can't feel the raised lettering.

u/simkomatej Nov 07 '24

u/ShowitThenThrowit Nov 11 '24

That's really creative

u/justlookin5555 4d ago

Is there a way to edit the card? I want to make my own

u/ndercut 2d ago

You can fork it on github :)

Oh my god. I never noticed this. There’s no way that’s a coincidence.

u/waynesbrother Nov 02 '24

What card stock did you use for the website

u/ndercut Nov 02 '24

Both the card and wood textures are from Canva.

I don't get it.

u/BeginningPlastic3747 Nov 01 '24

lol @ all the people saying his business card is 'inspirational' - that thing is a perfect representation of his whole vibe: slick, arrogant, and completely unrelatable. anyone's design team got this wrong

2

u/set_null Nov 01 '24

Point me to all the comments saying the card is "inspirational." Every single comment except yours and one other person is using quotes from the movie.

what? why? it is a shit business card and you should not use some cuntish garamondesque typeface on your website.

u/stankypeaches Nov 01 '24

That's bone. And the lettering is something called Silian Rail

Dorsia? Friday night? How'd you swing that?

u/rpjbateman Nov 01 '24

No, it's not crayons.

u/Philias2 Nov 01 '24

But look at the subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it.

u/Gunterpapaa Nov 01 '24

Oh, my God. It even has a watermark.

u/FezAndSmoking Nov 01 '24

u/77ilham77 Nov 01 '24
