Mid-Century Modern Moving Announcements

November 30, 2010

Freelance graphic designer, Kristina Walton, of Studio 67 Designs recently made a big move from Dallas to Chicago, and she designed these mid-century awesome moving announcements to send to her clients. The sunshine yellow and black color scheme really packs a punch and reminds me of the ubiquitous city cab, and do I even have to tell you that I’m loving all of the mid-century graphic elements, including that yummy, argyle-patterned slab-serif font?

Rodeo Themed Custom Birth Announcements

October 18, 2010

These custom letterpress birth announcements for baby Grace are so much fun! Matt and Claire, Grace’s parents, encouraged Slow Industries to think out of the box with this custom design, and the result is a super neato, rodeo-themed letterpress tri-fold announcement that features a cutie patootie linocut illustration of the baby on a rocking horse, as well as linocut starbursts and wood and metal type, which give the announcement a great, old school feel. Such a clever concept!

Peachy Letterpress Birth Announcements

October 06, 2010

These custom letterpress birth announcements are so incredibly sweet, and I love that Kathleen from Twig & Thistle, who designed and printed these for her brother and sister-in-law, used a peachy papaya color for the ink and envelopes. Such a lovely, modern design, and how clever that she attached the photos with foam mounting tape to add depth!

Cypress Letterpress Baby Announcements

I am completely enamored with these sweet and lovely custom letterpress birth announcements by Parrott Design Studio. The soft, rosy pink ink is a wonderful choice, and the cypress tree illustration for a new little one whose name is Cypress is perfect.
