When you think of gala invitations and posters you probably think of bad script typefaces in a centered arrangement printed with black engraving on an off-white felt paper. Apologies to anyone that has designed a gala set of materials like that; nothing personal! In this poster for San Antonio River Foundation’s River Gala, Jamie Stolarski has taken all those clichés and put them to sleep with the fishes. The deep black paper serves as the perfect background for some wide coverage of foil stamping in a shimmering blue. The bold, sans serif, underwater-themed lettering is really great and helps make the traditional script type look remarkably fresh. A gala(nt) effort!
