Wedding Invitation Design

When it came time to design my wedding invitations I knew just the right person for the job. A series of five cards were created in addition to the main wedding invitation. The fonts used are Neutraface, Cyclone and Eloquent Swash for the ampersand. The paper stock used was Knight Linen White Embossed 280gsm.

Human Library

mini book
I was asked by the Balwyn Library if I would be interested in taking part in their Human Library project. The Human Library is a program where members of the public are able to borrow a living person for a conversation rather than borrowing a book. I was asked a range of questions about graphic design from students to Careers Counsellors. I enjoyed the experience of being able to share my knowledge of design and afterwards I was given this mini book shown above.

Umläuts

umlaut logos

Does life become better with umlauts? More importantly could existing logos look better with umlauts? Also known as rock dots and used in band logos such as Motörhead and Mötley Crüe, umlauts are the two dots placed over a letter, most commonly a vowel. Although this would change the meaning and possibly the pronunciation of the word this post is all about aesthetics of umlauts. Sassen Design presents a variety of logos from the 1980s to present with some double dot lövin’.
