Project Introduction
Inspired by a 1970’s Wedding invitation, my father requested I produce a newspaper style invitation for his approaching 60th birthday celebrations. Using the original wedding invitation, I produced a fictional newspaper’s front page with sensational stories of how my father was denying his inevitable aging process falsifying documents and destroying evidence to the contrary.
My Role
Design, photography and printing.
Development Method
Using typical newspaper heading and body text fonts, along with a typical newspaper grid layout, I made up a number of stories that I though reflected the average front page of a modern newspaper. I organised to have the invitation printed on 250gsm card paper so that it would keep its shape in the post.
