Invitation to a wedding
Design: 2009
Client: Family Boot
Family Boot asked me to design a modern and personal wedding invitation according to their personal style: bold, straight, powerful. I started with the creation of a logo consisting of both names, a decorative ampersand character and a date sticker. Then the main invitation was designed. It’s a folded square card that – untraditionally – opens vertically and contains the logo on the front cover. On the inside of the card, the pertinent information is displayed around the large date stamp. Additionally a small invitation card was created for day guests, as is Dutch tradition.
The menu card for the wedding dinner is based on the main invitation design. On the back of both, a small abstracted dog joins the signature referring to their pet Jippie.
All items are printed full colour on satinated 300 gsm paper.

About MissPixel
Global entrepreneur
Based in Barcelona and working in the cloud, I love international flavoured collaborations. I’m fluent in English, Spanish, Dutch, German and French, like to travel and am curious about different cultures. Your project can be discussed in your office enjoying a cup of tea or we can set up a Skype call. There's always a way to communicate!
Skills
In 1998, I earned my bachelors in graphic design in Breda, The Netherlands. Just as the internet bubble formed, I moved to Spain and eagerly studied web design and interfaces on my own. Now, I combine design with teaching, as I love to share my knowledge with students and clients alike. A full work history can be found at MissPixel’s Linkedin profile.
Balance
The joy of work is in the balance: organising and taking care of customers in the user experience field, mathematical challenges in HTML coding and composing bright colourful palettes on screen and paper.
These three perspectives harmoniously come together into one goal: making people happy with useful and beautiful designs. Boy, do I love my job!
