This one has been puzzling me.. Logically I know it must be possible, if not fiddly to produce fancy looking documents similar to say https://stock.adobe.com/au/140151445?tduid=8da6a0c0dc1dddd1bfb2cf2899b8bb88

But I can't see any trace of them on the interwebs?

What is involved in producing something like this? I'm guessing lots of tikz?

    I don't think that's the main objective of TeX/LaTeX. Fancy short documents are indeed possible, but painful to obtain --- where LaTeX excel is in highly structured, content-oriented documents, especially if with a strong mathematical content. Scribe+inkscape could be a better match for that kind of things. – Rmano Jan 18 '22 at 09:45

    I am not sure what your question is. Yes, it is possible. Yes. it is a lot of work. Maybe you should look into ConTeXt or Speedata Publisher, both are suited for elaborate layouts – DG' Jan 18 '22 at 09:49

    There are some older "show nice examples of LaTeX" questions here on the site, for your current question an answer like https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/60259/ may be interesting. – Marijn Jan 18 '22 at 10:13
  • Thanks @Marijn the examples are great - at least this inspires me to do some reverse engineering.. – baradhili Jan 18 '22 at 11:18

    @DG' ConTeXt combined with exporting from InDesign as XML or HTML has some promise – baradhili Jan 18 '22 at 11:18
  • @Fran this also looks good :) – baradhili Jan 18 '22 at 11:19
