APPROACH

When I heard the groom planned to wear lime green shoes on the day of the wedding, I knew I could design an invitation that was a bit more fun and unique than usual. For the design concept I really wanted to focus on the use of paper, texture, and an unusual typographic solution. Letterpress printing, laser-cutting, and different paper stocks provided layers of texture, color, and pattern on the invitation set.

PRODUCTION LESSONSThe letterpress printing was a very smooth process and everything went as expected but there were a few challenges with the laser-cutting. I was new to the laser-cutting process and the pattern I made was quite intricate, so it was a challenge to decide where and how much to cut out of the design. Overall, I really was very pleased with the results and how all the pieces worked together.
