Invitations have changed! Gone are the conservative aesthetics and feminine-leaning sensibilities. This particular suite is a great example of that design trend and was created specifically as part of a portfolio designed to show clients what creativity and individuality can produce. The standout for me is substrate choice and how that translates into a vivid story (think Marilyn Monroe sitting atop a Harley).
Twig & Fig really gun the design engine with texture. The outer envelope feels like a tire tread, but with a sophisticated embossed dot pattern resembling fishnet stockings. This pattern is replicated on the suede-like RSVP envelope (dots printed with silver on black Cordenons Plike from Neenah). A white envelope liner with a motorcycle illustration revs up the design ride.
The manly main invite card goes full throttle thick – white Cordenons Plike from Neenah adhered to black chipboard adhered to faux velvet. A decorative bellyband cut from embossed vinyl wraps around the card like a leather belt for the pure surprise and joy of it. Invite, Directions and RSVP cards are letterpress printed, which adds even more texture to one crusin’ invitation suite.
