CLIENT

Robin and Jason, bride and groom.


BRIEF

For our wed­ding we want­ed some­thing fun that told our sto­ry. It was impor­tant that we had our per­son­al­i­ties come across and do some­thing that was­n’t a con­ven­tion­al invi­ta­tion. We also need­ed to save mon­ey and for­tu­nate­ly we have a laser engraver at work. I want­ed to cre­ate some­thing I could do my self, only using the engraver. 


APPROACH

I exper­i­ment­ed with sev­er­al ways to cre­ate some­thing that was three dimen­sion­al. After a lot of tri­al and error I used a sys­tem where the paper is held togeth­er with slots. This approach is easy to assem­ble and worked on a num­ber of shapes. After I made a basic shape that worked, I was able to go back in and add detail. We got engaged on a bike ride and pic­nic, and that became the theme for the save the date. Our wed­ding was at the Green Build­ing in Brook­lyn, NY. I used the build­ing as the main struc­ture of the invi­ta­tion and illus­trat­ed our par­ty on the inside.

PRODUCTION LESSONS

I learned a lot of what was possible in the amount of time I had. It was a tedious process figuring out what I could do so the piece would stand and fit into an envelope. The nice thing is after I figured out the general system I can translate that into other projects.
