One of the greatest benefits of being a graphic designer is getting to make things for people you love, like design your own wedding invitation! In brief, this is a love letter to my wife, Hannah. I started with her favorite color, green, picking a light tint to match both her whimsy and the delicate, refined nature of a wedding. I filled in the text with a script font and a thin san-serif for the content. Then, I drew 4 daisies, her favorite flower, on card stock and asked a friend of mine to photograph them. I then plopped those photos in Photoshop and added a gentle gradient map to match the green used everywhere else. The back is a straightforward photo from our engagement shoot, plus our names and the date, functioning as a great reminder to put on a fridge without overwhelming with info up front. Flowers drawn in graphite, edited with Photoshop, and full invitation put together in InDesign.
