A double sided project

5

Every now and again I get the pleasure of designing for someone other than a bride. I love working with my brides, however it is such a nice balance to do corporate work too. This project was particularly fun and the event planner Becky and her group at RPI were open to letterpress, my favorite. The assignment was to design an invitation for a series of receptions across the country to honor those who helped contribute to the transformation of RPI. Various building aspects, education and other items have been transformed.

In brainstorming ideas, I decided to use an abstract image of architectural circles for imagery. I felt it also encompassed what the large project was about. The invite was printed on #220 paper and the guys on press did an amazing job of letterpressing both sides without the impression showing through. One side was blind de-bossed while the information was on the opposite. I also love the envelope which also shows the circles partly on the flap and bleeds off the left edge. Again, kudos to the amazing print job!
