Winter Wedding

Andrew’s brother got married back in December to his lovely lady friend and we had the honor of working on a couple fun projects for the big day. Well, one wasn’t technically for the big day but rather for the rehearsal dinner. I designed these winter-themed invite for the rehearsal dinner. Winter has so much great imagery, so it was fun to work on.

I had started by doing a whole window with each window frame being frosty, but it ended up just getting to be too much. It looked cool without the type but then I couldn’t get the imagery and type to play nice. So, I did what is usually the solution: I simplified. And it worked nicely.

The other project was a collaboration between Andrew and I. Andrew’s brother wanted some sort of token to give to a select number of guests that they could redeem at the bar for a 40oz beer. We created poker chips that followed the winter theme by doing Xylene transfers onto pre-fabricated wooden discs.

It took us a couple tries to get the process down (we had to make 50 of them) but once we got that figured out, it went pretty quickly. Maybe we should think about doing a Xylene transfer tutorial in the future.
