I have been lucky enough to become involved with Theatre of Gadsden, the premier local theater company in Gadsden, Alabama. The theater had everything working in its favor except lackluster graphic design.
It’s been a real joy dedicating my time to creating posters, programs, billboards, apparel, social media assets and more for the home of an artform I hold so near and dear to my heart!
Everyone has been to a baby shower full of flowers or baby animals, but to work on a galaxy themed shower was a real treat. I created a full suite of assets for the client, from photo backdrops to thank you cards, but the invitations are the first piece the guests will see, and really sets the tone for the event.
Looking for a poppy palette that says girl without being too girly, I pulled from galaxy images for the pink, aqua, purple, and marigold. Chunky uppercase letters and elementary school script ensure that the invitations read “baby” more than Star Wars.
My engaged-couple clients were planning a wedding on Halloween and came to me asking for a gothic, spooky invitation suite. A black and white palette was a must, and we decided on a gate-fold invitation to maximize space for illustration and information.
I am particularly proud of how these turned out. From the skeletons holding hands on the outer flaps, to the intertwined typographical details on the inner, they remain one of my favorite projects of all time.
