Bella Figura

Some of my favorite new(ish) wedding invitations from Bella Figura. Their sensibility is one part classic, one part fun, two parts modern. The way they take a typeface and add a hand drawn quality to it, and maintain a clean, and classic look is a great option to add some flare but still keep it traditional.
Their use of color, I think is a really good way to bring an old typeface, like Caslon swash caps, into the 21st century with a neon pink bang!
 Every invitation has the option to be edged, a great way to add a pop of color that is a fun surprise when you discover it.

This gold foil edge is making me go bananas! It's so chic and playful with the neon pink and grey.

Patterns & Summer

A pattern I am working on ( well have been working on a few and get so distracted with other projects!) And this photo just sums up summer for me

As I peel back the layers..

brain waves and 80 degrees ~~

A little vintage, a little rock and roll

Inspiration board for a baby shower invitation I am printing for an owner of a local, rad, amazing record store Slowtrain!

Lovers of music I had to keep it in that theme. Drawing from vintage record sleeves, modern, flat illustration that is one part kooky, two parts genuis.

Playing off the gig poster culture, I want to keep thing hand drawn, including the text and the colors flat and thick. And of coarse the every enticing color overlapping. 

They want a very gender neutral palette, so I am choosing teal, persimmon, and white! A very popular color combo in the Print! Print! Print! world!!

Hattie Graduation

Graduation announcement I letterpress printed on the Ms. Asburn (yep, the press is a she as of now!) for a dear friend's graduation announcement. We designed it together and I don't think I could like it any better!
