Madeleine and Alex are getting married. Time to push the big button and unleash some major design fury unto the world. I was tasked to create some beautiful invitations with a ‘logo’, a website and going with it, a 15sec intro animation.
I asked the wonderful Sepideh Madani to draw some flower and leaves, so I could create a bouquet for the cover as well as some material for the inside. Since the wedding is going to take place in an old blacksmith’s shop I wanted to represent that in the logo. As to keep it subtle. The hammer and the pliers are symbols of the blacksmith guild.
The invitation is wrapped in a silk ribbon which is symbolic of the bond the couple will forge. It holds a ‘business’ card, that the receiver of the invitation can keep seperately.
Eventually I created an animation. I modeled, textured, lit and composited everything, but only after the wonderfully talented Guenther Doblies created some lovely tunes that couldn’t suit the occasion any better.
