This Save the Date card was created for the bride’s upcoming wedding. She wanted something which was elegant and timeless which spoke to her own unique love story. The future bride and groom’s surname is Martini which I incorporated two Martini glasses clinking together, a splash of the classic cocktail coming to a perfect heart. The client wanted something which was also modern and had a meaningful touch.
I started this project by drawing by hand as I prefer to start work on paper through sketching and ideation before jumping on to digital software. I scanned and then digitized the lettering using Photoshop and Illustrator to then vectorise the graphics. I wanted to have the loose, flowing feel that real brush strokes have, emphasising the thick lines on each firm up and down stroke.
