That sounds amazing. What an idea! I had considered something similar to that, using Python scripting and either GIMP or Scribus but in the end I opted for what was most familiar for me, which is traditional GUI graphic design tools.
I did do a retro game revival project that uses BASH and Image Magick and pdfjam to construct the printable layout, but the scripts have problems which I need to fix, but I so rarely generate the print sheets and so I have a difficult time building up the iterative steam.
Even so, automating the design process is a great idea and your workflow is really neat to read about. Thanks for the comment!
I prefer to say that it's awesome AND free. Costing $0 in itself can mean anything, but GIMP is a great design application. :^)
