Hamilton Harbor invite

Recently, I was contacted by Collier Enterprises to create an invitation for a boat show to be held at Hamilton Harbor Yacht Club. They wanted to use a simple concept of a rope and compass rose for the front of the invite. After some brainstorming with local printer, Intech Printing, we decided to use a multi-level emboss on the rope to give it some added texture. We also used a dull varnish on the invite except for the compass rose, which used a gloss varnish to make it stand out (hopefully that is apparent in the photo). As a designer, it’s really nice to get to work with a quality printer on a project that includes a few bells & whistles.

    Yeah, I really like that! The rope embossed is a perfect touch. Nice work

    Although, I have to disagree with the headline on the front! :P AllAboardfest.org (Susan G Komen Charity Event) is going to be THE nautical event of the season in swfl! hahaha
