Typography

This invitation is both aesthetically pleasing and pertinent to its subject. The retro, science fiction appeal seems to hint at the typography of from 1950s movie posters without straying too far from contemporary design. The graphic elements also help to communicate the message well.
The theme for this graduation invitation was science. I was inspired by the fun shapes and patterns you find in science like the ellipses of an atom or spiral of a double helix. This was a surprise gift for my client and she could not have been happier with the results. Who knew science could be so much fun to print!
