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!
