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.

100 more days to our big event...

I was watching the advert saying "100 more days to the Beijing Olympics 2008",
I thought it is also ...



It is just getting more exciting!

Our Wedding Solemnization Invitation Card: TYPE-1

Our Wedding Solemnization Wedding Invitation Card: TYPE 1

This TYPE 1 version of the card never made it to print. It was debated that the colors are too flashy and the font of the Chinese character "婚" (which means "marriage") is rather hard to interpret. I had intentionally put in images of the coloured ceiling lamps from the New Majest Bar and two old school spotlights from the New Majestic Hotel lobby, and hidden them in the shadows. They appeared faint on screen, but a test print-out did not show up. This backdrop was scrapped as well.
