Wedding Invitations: Carl & Gillian

Angela — Mon, 17 May 2010 20:20:02 +0000

I made these wedding invites for a good friend of mine. Each wedding invite was hand-cut, folded, glued, and painted with the logo I designed of the couples initials. The red sheets on the inside are embossed and create a nice textural background for the inserts. Carl and Gillian are getting married atop a building in Chicago, so the inserts are arranged to mimic tall skyscrapers of the city without being too literal.

Another letter from my cute little flowers. This one has paper flowers in it too to add some different texture in there.

This letter is now available in my store!

After finding my love for making little felt flowers, I thought I’d try out some lettering with them. I’m really happy with this one, more might have to be made for the nursery.

This is a publication I started with a friend while we were in school at College for Creative Studies. We developed everything from the typeface to the content. Some pictures were taken by Brian Leech. Others are taken from the CCS website, where it is a featured project.

Here are a few photos of the fun projects I got to do for our game-themed wedding. Yes, that’s really us on the front cover of the boardgames! *Photos by Christine Edwards

I’m also proud to point out that our wedding is featured on my favorite wedding blog, Style Me Pretty!

Music Posters

Angela — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 03:31:40 +0000

These posters were created by method of chance. I randomly took pictures by pointing the camera without looking through the viewfinder at places that were open 24/7. I then selected the 7th photo from each location and sent it to a musician.

I told each participant that they had to write a 24 second song based on the photograph. They had only one hour to write the song and the time started when they looked at the photo. After I heard each song, I created sheet music for each song, inspired by John Cage.

Each poster incorporates a line drawing from the original photograph, email conversations between me and the musicians, and the new sheet music that describes how the music sounds. I guess the next step would be to have someone new try to play the song from the sheet music.

Commodore’s Ball Invite

This was a special family project. The invite was for my Aunt, designed by me, and printed by my Dad. This project also gave me an opportunity to do some hand lettering <3

The lettering for this invitation was featured on LetterCult’s Best in Custom Letters 2009 list
