Project Description
This wedding stationery is the right mix of bride-to-be and groom's unique personality. Using Chinese symbol of two happiness coming together "Shuang Xia", harmoniously combine with Arabic Kufic "Walimatulurus" for the meaning of gathering friends and family. Then, the play of red and grey inks compliment each other beautifully. Altogether, the complete attention to detail and red edge colouring give this invitation a feel of extravagant quality and craftsmanship.Production Lesson(s)
With right amount of pressure applied on both sides of the paper, we managed to get a decent pillow effect on the edges of text.
