    The Challenge

    -----

    For this design challenge we are looking for innovative designers who can create elegant and sophisticated gatefold invitations that will impress our clients looking for all kinds of styles to suit their wedding. The competition focuses on creating designs that are unique and luxurious, with a focus on typography and type layout, different colors, and paper stocks to create a truly one-of-a-kind invitation set. Photos on the outside or the inside of the gatefold invitations are encouraged, as they set a more personal tone to the design. Not sure where to start? We've put together a mood-board for you to get a bit of an idea as to what we’re looking for, along with all our paper stocks, foil swatches and design templates. Have fun and good luck!
