anna and roddy's final draft

This was quite challenging for me. Anna is very much into the arts and its different schools. From abstract impressionism to conceptual art, the fine arts to architectural inspiration, nosebleed! I spent a lot of sleepless nights thinking about this one. i was even going to use plaster and wires on this one. Ang Bog was MIA the whole time!

I finally was able to corner Bog and discussed this with him. I told him about the influences and the colors(daffy blue and oyster gray etc.) and my dilemma. And he goes, "Ano ba, Tita. Make it like a blueprint". Ah... yes, of course. Silly me, growing up with my dada, an engineer, and rolls of blueprints around the house. Why didn't I think of that.

Here it is:

Was able to email all the files to Anna tonight.

"We're good, we're good!:) It's perfect!:) Thank you so much again, Abba!:)"

Bim and Gen's Save the Date Cards print outs

vacation :) and anna & roddy's STD cards

hi kids.

i'm going to china on monday, so i'm turning everything over to the lovely Yoshie (my future digital printer/envelope maker/tour guide/consultant) for the next two weeks. been busy with too much vacationing and two active projects. still trying too hard to make the perfect artwork for anna and roddy's formal invitation. in the meantime, here's what i've come up with the STD design. i was supposed to have it silkscreened but my silkscreen team can't figure out where to get the materials. did a sample print using a digital printer on 180 gsm watercolor paper. turned out lovely! will put them inside turquoise and apple green striped transluscent jacket-type envelopes. i hope anna will love them as much as i am loving the simplicity of the design and the kilig of the poem by rainer ma. rilke.

see you in two weeks!

sy-flores update

marijhune decided to go with something like this:

i misjudged her. i thought she was more into cutesy stuff, but turned out she prefers solid and bold colors. haha. Save-the-date cards usually just show names and the date, but due to our bride-to-be's request, i had to include the information.

working late

hi. i'm getting the hang of this and i am happy to say that i am almost done with the computations and can soon give everyone my standard rates. tee hee. this is so embarassing. i am currently still haggling with printers but things are looking bright. now, if i could just finish writing the contracts...

sy-flores save the date versions 1 and 2

here are the versions that weren't approved, but i think they're worth posting here. the info on these are rather complicated since they will be giving the cards out in palawan, but the wedding will be somewhere south of manila. they just didn't want to confuse their guests.


they look sweet enough to eat.
