ART DIRECTION_BRANDING_DESIGN Uniqueness, playfulness and heritage with tongue firmly in cheek were the order of the day for the E & R wedding invite. Illustrator Jim Stoten was commissioned to produce a unique, unified Coat of Arms for the two families, the Lion of Emma’s and the Pegasus of Rory’s. An ‘E & R’ monogram was also used in a playful nod to it being the year of the Queen’s Jubilee. To give the invite a unique look, the outer pages used a hot foil impression of the coat of arms, using a magenta foil on GF Smiths Colourplan White Frost, the inner spreads were hand sewn and bound using a magenta thread to give a hand made look to reflect my wife’s crafty nature.
