Invitation Cover Art


OUR OFFICIAL WEDDING SOLEMNIZATION INVITATION CARD


In my earlier post, I showed a picture of our draft wedding invitation card: TYPE 1 cover art. The final piece is a much more simplified version with just the centre motif and the font of the Chinese character "婚" (which means "marriage") has been changed.

The motif is created from a photograph which I took and later put it through very heavy post-processing. The motif is shaped to appear as a heart shape rather than an apple. This heart signifies our love for each other. The original photograph lacks colors and is but only dull grey color. Refreshing, bright colors is then added to give it more life and also signifies that only with each other, our previously duller life becomes full of colors and more beautiful. The red-and-black scheme together with the Chinese character used in the invitation is to re-create a Chinoiserie art and possibly depict our fairy tale theme.
