Thank you cards

I really wanted to get straight into designing some thank you cards for the guests at the wedding and so here you can see some of my tests - keeping consistent with the already existing range.

It is funny how you seem to get bored of using the same font over and over but when it comes to being consistent within a brief I guess this is really important. I would of loved to design some different more hand drawn type based designs but I feel this would be too far away from the others.  Also, as I am hoping to delve into more hand drawn type in my other briefs it is probably very important for me to try and test what works digitally.  

some final designs for wedding stationery

On this pdf I thought I would show the colour of orange choice - as orange can be quite a bright or dull colour I wanted to give the perfect one off screen so printed a tested to make sure before printing that my colours were spot on.

As well as this is the stripe pattern which was used continuously throughout the range so as to show consistency and to add a good bit of colour to what can sometimes be a boring white wedding stationery.

On the second page is the final concertina order of service which I changed from a hot dog fold. It is perfect with the stripes on the back side of it so that it really contrasts but it is not too over powering.

As I am having to consider the cost of printing and how to do this more efficiently I felt that by using the concertina I could fit 2 on an A2 sheet. As well as this it is also much quicker and easier to fold on the antique white which I used for this.

Table plan

Again an attempt to keep it simple and a quick turn around this is the start of playing around with the layout of the table plan sticking with the same typefaces and colours.

Order of service

Hotdog fold order of service. 

So as to design this within just a day I kept it very simple and similar to the invitation whilst making the format the most important part.  I am going to test print this on the stock I want it on and see how it folds, there is a chance that because of the weight of the stock it may not line up exactly how I would like so I may have to rethink the format. 

This will be double sided and on the back is the striped pattern which is the same as on the invitation giving people a taste of the colour scheme. 

I

Wedding Stationery,

I want to use one of my briefs to complete all wedding stationery for my own wedding.  

I have still to design the order of service, table numbers and place names and also the table plan.  As well as this I want to consider ideas of decoration for the church and also for the tables at the reception. 

I have already got the finished invitations which have been sent out so I want all the rest of the design to be consistant with this.  Working only with Orange, yellow, grey and white and continuing with the same Type faces and layout. 

I hav realised that I like to always ask why when answering a brief. I don't like to design things with fuss or without something being there for a reason. 

When considering my wedding stationery with this approach I don't want to take away the fun aspect and I think a focus on colour is very important within it.  

Hello Love continuation.

Title.  Wedding stationery range

To complete a range of wedding stationery for my own wedding on the 6th of November which is themed on an already chosen colour palette.  There must be a beautiful consistency and a focus on paper and format.

Concept.  Considering the invitation is almost complete I want to follow on from that and design the complete range of stationery for my wedding.  The chosen colours are Yellow, Orange and Grey and there is no set theme.  I would like to base the stationery around paper and format- focusing on the way things are folded or cut to suit the product and its use.

I will be designing. Save the date card, Completed Invitation, Order of service, Table Plan, Place names, table numbers, Thank you Cards, Bunting and other necessary decoration.

Mandatory requirements. Paper based, consistent theme/stock/colour.

Deadline.  3rd November 2011
