Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

This weekend if you're walking around the Riverwalk and see a group of women in these t-shirts....give them a shout!  A month ago I worked with the Maid of Honor on this truly unique design for a bachelorette party.  In case you're not the alcohol-savy type, the design is based on the Bride's favorite liquor, Jack Daniels.  Click on the image to see it on a t-shirt... 

Enjoy your weekend everyone....have St. Patrick's Day!

 

Back to School

Recently, I've been working quite a bit with Dulce & Bellezza Photography here in Corpus Christi.  If you remember, I actually re-designed their logo Spring of last year.  And speaking of, if you are looking for a photographer in the coastal bend area, give them a look....their photography is amazing.

One of the owners contacted me early in the week and wanted to see if I could do a quick turnaround on a District Championship Banner for Ray High School's Basketball team.  After a few hours in photoshop, a few more in design software, and a couple of cups of coffee, we have this:

The hardest part?  Inserting 12 separate player photos and trying to keep all of the heights to each accurate....easier said and done.  Hope the Texans are proud to hang this in their gym.

Stay tuned for new blogs next week.

and Everything Else Wedding

Continuing with our wedding theme here at the blog, this post is all about the invites and some additional design items.  After lots of research, discussion and idea throwing-around, my wife and I came with a few design goals.

First off, they needed to be elegant, classy and clean.  We wanted there to be a theme, but not a cheesy prom 'Our Night is Forever' theme.  We simply wanted there to be a common thread linking on the design.  And last but not least, we wanted them to be different.

First up, we have the invites.

These were printed on shimmer cardstock with a soft gloss finish.  Orginally we had talked about using a method called 'letterpressing,' in which the paper is literally pressed with a stamp, which causes a soft imprint.  However, the custom cost was outrageous, and we decided against it. The RSVPs were our favorite.  These came with a pair of stickers, in which the guest could peel off, and place on the postcard.  (Click on the thumbnails for full view)

 

The rest are just some random items.  The first thumbnail is our wedding program, which was also printed on the shimmer cardstock.
The second, was a door hanger waiting for our guests as they arrived at their hotels.  On one side, the expected 'Do Not Disturb' note, on the other a listing of things to do...restaurants, sights to see, night life, etc.
And finally, the third one was a simple piece found at each place setting at the reception.  One the front a listing of some unfamiliar wedding traditions taking place throughout the night, on the reverse, a fun, quirky, wedding-themed Mad Lib (who doesn't love a good Mad Lib!?)



Be on the look out for some brand new t-shirt designs....I've got some new ones up my sleeve that I've been dying to get designed.

Happy Friday Everyone.
