Event Announcements : 2007 Alumni Forum

Poster designed for campus event.  Used a photograph I took on one of my travels to go with the event theme of "lighting the way."  Names of participants have been blurred out.

Business Cards: BT's speak bubbles

Design concept for BT's language tutoring gig.  BT was in the works of promoting his services as an English tutor and needed business cards to be catchy but simple.  Plans for printing are currently on hold.

Announcements : Rome Student Exhibition

Designed this to announce the the student showcase the semester I studied abroad.  Same was used in both email and print posters.  [Took the photo on one of our city-walking tours :) ]

Emailer : NYE

I realize now this probably should have said "New Year's Eve 2009" . . . but it worked out!

Emailer : Holiday 2009

i love dots.

invites for friendly gatherings :)

Wedding : K + A

I'M SO HAPPY FOR K+A!!!

I'm also really glad they let me do their invites!  The wedding is going to be eco-friendly, so the invites will be printed on recycled paper, double sided.

Can't wait to see these two!! :)

Wedding : G+D

G+D's wedding invites were already done and sent out, but they still needed some programs and dinner menus designed.  G was great to work with; she did a lot of research and knew exactly what she wanted!  For the late-summer wedding, we decided on a floral+branches motif.  I created the flowers and branches in Photoshop, using photographs I had taken in the past and select filters.  Type: Monotype Corsiva

Fan Programs (250)

printed on pearlescent cream linen card;  8"x5" with satin sage ribbons, 1/4" width

Hand-cut and  hole-punched!  I didn't think I could finish tying all the ribbons, but G was a fast learner and pitched in!

Circular Menus (325)

printed on cream linen paper;  6" diameter; hand-cut

G found the idea for circular menus on weddingbee.com.  I needed to fit two menus on a letter-size sheet and still have them be large enough as place settings.  The notch is where the circles overlap and I let the branches curve around that.  I like the asymmetry of the composition while the text itself still maintains center-align....there was so much food to include, yum!

Wedding : M+H

My first foray in wedding graphics!  My co-worker was looking for someone to design the wedding invites for M+H's wedding...but it had to be done by the end of the week!  This being a beach wedding, I went with a simple beach grass image.  Used Photoshop to change color and transparencies; bought square-fold envelopes to save time on assembly..... and double-sided dots are a life saver!
