Project Description
I recently graduated from the University of North Texas' Communication Design program and I wanted to create some announcements for my friends and family that reflected the hard work I put in at UNT. The design and symbolism reflect my branded self rather than being a cheesy school promotion, which is why there is a three eyed owl representing me instead of the eagle representing the school. I also like to have fun with the vernacular in the invitation ya dig?Production Lesson(s)
I didn't get into a rhythm with the stamping process until I killed about half of my paper stock. I found that the most crisp results came form a heavy inking, a light stamping on a scrap sheet, and then a smooth and slightly harder pressure stamp on the ESSE Paper. The second stamp without re-inking always had better detail.
