Description
This artifact is an invitation to Clare Gruszka and Dustin Edwards's wedding.
The submitter told the following story about the artifact's creation:
"The process for choosing our invitation was largely collaborative. Certainly, Clare did more of the early work in deciding and selecting an invite. She has good taste smile emoticon. I recall Clare picking from a website about a dozen of her favorites--and then, together, we narrowed down the list to this final selection. I think part of the reason we chose it was that it resembled the kind of style we envisioned for our wedding--simple and elegant. It also matched the colors Clare had in mind. The part where I did more of the work dealt with typography and arrangement of the words. For example, in the main invite card, I remember playing with wording so that a line of alignment would move from the upper lefthand side down to the corner. It was a small thing that a design nerd like me cared about."
