80th Birthday Party Invitation
by Anne Kostecki
I was asked by my mother to design an invitation for my great aunt's 80th birthday party. She wanted something summery and upbeat, and suggested that perhaps sunflowers could be included in the design. I decided to design a hand drawn typographic lockup to contribute to the rustic summery feel, and I drew several styles of sunflowers before settling on the marker style. A light, peachy pink gradient finishes the background of the invitation.
I designed and illustrated the card, and had it printed on Cougar White 80lb uncoated stock. The invitations were mailed in 70# white opaque envelopes.
