  14. Not so good invites… • Fonts are all the same size • Font color is similar to the background or doesn’t go with the color scheme • Too wordy or not enough info • Font style is not complimentary to the event • Composition is hard to follow • Word choice is not appropriate to the event • Colors are the same/distracting/not complimentary

  15. Interesting History of Invites • Quill pen and ink: calligraphy today • Two envelopes occurred for a reason • Crest: federal Government/Post Office • Tissue paper…why is that there? • Printing press changed everything • Evolution of creative invites • Easy access for all

  16. So…what am I doing? • Make an invitation • Show 4 different versions of one composition. (Meaning diff. colors) • Complete research on the proper wording for the invite • Design the composition in your sketchbook. Try different compositions • Be creative • Choose one type of invite

  20. Use Photoshop and Illustrator to Make the Image • Photoshop is for the creative elements such as graphics and photos. Illustrator is for text purposes and any vector art. • Vector: are comprised of paths, which are defined by a start and end point, along with other points, curves, and angles along the way. A path can be a line, a square, a triangle, or a curvy shape. Because vector-based images are not made up of a specific number of dots, they can be scaled to a larger size and not lose any image quality.
