Design w/Chon: "Princess" Birthday Invitation

This past weekend I finished designing a 1 yr. old birthday party invite, and I had a lot of fun embellishing the heck out of it. :) The client/mother only gave me the word "princess" for the invite, and as soon as I thought of crown/tiara for the graphic visual, I ran with the design, and it all came together.

I love strong typography on any design, because it always feels more unique and very personal for the person it is intended for. The soon to be 1 yr. old birthday girl is Shraya, and to her parents, she is their little princess. I created a cartoonish, yet elegant stylized crown with the #1 incorporated into the design. I then embellished the crown with real, tangible rhinestones which makes the invite card feel even more special and precious just like their daughter, Shraya.

There was a total of 35 cards and probably 5-6 different rhinestone arrangements on the crown, and they were sealed in a metallic silver A6 envelope.



Also, as a gift to remember their daughter's 1st birthday, I framed her name as art that will adorn her room. As you can see, I bedazzled the heck out of her name to make it even more girlie.

When individuals come to me for an invite design, I view and take on his/her invite as an artistic project, and it becomes very personal to me. And I hope as well, it becomes very personal to my client too and appreciate the artistry that goes into it. There is always a reason for every detail and placement that occurs in my design... it's what I do :)
