Wedding Invitation Design
I’ve been an art student my entire life, and while I did technically major in Fine Art once I was off to college, I also chose to focus on Digital Media Design. Without the skills from those classes, I never would have been able to combine those two skills of mine in order to start creating custom invitations. I enjoy creating them more than I had anticipated, so much so that I focused on wedding invitations for my senior project!
WED: Wedding Experience Design
A Senior Project at Florida Gulf Coast University
Every senior where I went to school is challenged to come up with a unique and different way to present the content of our projects. At the time, I was just discovering that my lifelong love for beautiful stationery was an entire field of work that I could easily fall into. Also being a photographer, I had an interest in the wedding industry for my photo work, and so the interest in wedding stationery was a natural transition. This quickly became the focus of my senior project, but what could I do to make my invitations unique and different? The answer ended up being one that intimidated me: Augmented Reality. My professor doubted my ability to pull it off, but with the help of my mentors at the internship I was doing in the university marketing department I was able to make it happen! So, I used an app called Zappar to create a code that can be scanned (like a QR code) that would bring my invitations to life! My project ended up including three different suites of stationery that all came to life in animated videos using the app. I felt it was important to show that this technology can be applied across various styles of wedding invitations.
A variety of styles for a variety of couples.
