Project Description

For West Michigan Center for Arts + Technology's (WMCAT) biggest fundraiser, every year Plenty donates our time designing the collateral for this event. To keep costs low, we focused on printing black plus one PMS (silver) and let the paper be the pop of color. We used the elements of the logo for the visuals and used them in abstract ways throughout the invitation. The result is playful, dramatic, and engaging.

Production Lesson(s)

The invitation was initially designed with only one insert, however, the client wanted to add more information and sponsor details (and logos!). We decided to add a second insert, which wasn't ideal, but it kept the information clean and organized.”
