logo/button

the task...

a web site button that also acts as a logo, it must incorporate a runway.

j has created a software for his flying. an interactive log book that will be shared online through several flying recreation web sites.
will post a link once its up.
hope he goes well and that the site receives positive feedback and interest...


finished product...



materials...

created in photoshop


i am not entirely happy with the result. it really irritates me that there is no horizon line. j insisted that it needed to look more like you were looking down at the runway as appose to landing or approaching it. never mind, if he is happy with the result i should be too.

wedding invites

the task...

my wedding invitation. includes map, rsvp card and wishing well note.








the end result....










materials...


180gsm linen card for main invite & rsvp card
90gsm linen paper for wishing well note & band
1/16" circle punch
3 different sized envelopes in black
'avery' labels
mini heart fasteners to hold band together

overall i am happy with the result. however, the band was fairly loose & as a result i have the feeling that it won't hold in the mail. it took me ages to put them together mainly because of printing margins & alignment. (things that i will have to figure out in the near future because it drove me insane lol)
