map illustration for event

portfolio item type(s)
Map illustration
problem
Provide a map to the venue on the back of a business-related event invitation.

I created this in Adobe Illustrator, using key font elements and the soft landform treatment to integrate the graphic with the rest of the invitation. I was responsible for all direction, design and execution.

popup event invitation card

portfolio item type(s)
Mervyn's Wave popup card
problem
Develop a memorable invitation piece and related materials for a major in-house corporate event, driving the event theme of "make waves".
solution
I developed this wave illustration in vector format so that it could be used for both large banners and small pieces like this die-cut pop-up card, and also created simplified versions for monochrome spot-color pieces such as rubber swim caps. I created the image using both Corel Draw and Adobe Illustrator, and did the layout for this piece in Quark XPress.
