For my design approach, I decided I wanted to use a simple gate fold and split on image in half for the front cover. I wanted to do this because I thought it would really drawn in the reader to want to open the invitation to  see what it was all about. Then after opening the invitation I wanted to keep it balanced so I put two images on both ends and the in the middle the information for the event. I really thought this was clean, balanced and well organized idea.

For the paper, I wanted the images to look crisp and bright, so I wanted a nice white. After looking through the samples in class I decided if I was able to, I would use Pearl White 64lb – #90 – Crane’s Signature Collection. I thought that this would really give me a nice crisp image and make my invitation nice an strong.

From this project I learned a lot about document size in Indeisgn and a lot more about folds. I also learned a lot about how to create and doubled sided image on one piece of paper. I also learned a lot more about digital printing, especially with having to deal with Staples.

The typeface I used for this project was Gill Sans
