January 19, 2012 Invitation Design

Just completed an invitation design for my company Computers & Structures. We have an annual themed party at city hall where civil engineers and friends come all over the globe to help us celebrate our technology that is so widely used to help architectural marvels. With this year’s them being Moulin Rouge, I took rustic Parisian sensibilities with a spit of contemporary design and voila! We love what foil can do.
