I love it when a plan comes together! An assembled A-team of meticulous mock-ups, careful iteration, patient client, and willing printer save the day in this modular wedding invitation system. Mr. K, the team’s muscle, demonstrates his mechanical prowess as he effortlessly fashions the individual pieces into a working weapon of good design.

The value of trial and error and experimentation cannot be understated in bringing an innovative concept to reality. In all, more than 15 mockups were created prior to final printing specifications. This concept required managing both graphic (information) and physical constraints (mailing dimensions, folding requirements, letterpress accuracy). It wasn’t easy, but thanks to the experience and willingness to experiment by our printer and an understanding client, the project was both a learning experience for all involved and an ultimate success.
