Alice in Wonderland Party Invites

A while ago I designed these invitations for an Alice in Wonderland themed party. The party was for teenagers around the ages of fourteen to seventeen, so I wanted the invitations to look a little more grown up and sophisticated, but still whimsical and fun. 

To incorporate the sophistication, I used some original illustrations from Lewis Carroll's book, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. They are complex and have a much more "adult" vibe to them opposed to the Disney cartoon. John Tenniel is the artists who drew these gorgeous illustrations. The black and red also adds a flare of sophistication. 

But the pop of light blue lends a more fun attitude to the invitation. A mix of simple serif typeface and more whimsical fonts in the same color created the perfect balance I was looking for. I came up with the wording and made another small tribute to the book by spelling exactly "exaketedly"-the way Lewis Carroll's characters spell and say it in Wonderland. Beneath the black box is the address.

Again, if you'd like me to design an invitation for you, let me know in the comments or email me. I'd LOVE to design something perfect for your party!

Graduation Announcement

Back in April I made this graduation announcement to send out to friends and family. It was super simple to make. I just made it in word and printed it on 4 x 6 photo paper. Our school colors are red, white, and black, so I worked with that color combination. I was inspired by the vintage poster invitations and the subway art that has been popular the last couple of years.

I apologize that the photos in the announcement did not photograph well. For some reason they don't look as sharp as they do in real life. 

I love creating invitations and announcements. If you'd like me to design and print some for you, I am willing to work with you to find a price that works for you. You can also be as involved or as not involved in the design process as you'd like. I love input and will draft several designs, but will never send you a final product you have not agreed to. If you're interested, leave a comment or email me.
