Graduation Announcement

This was my graduation announcement from Drury University. With a degree in Graphic Design, Fine Arts, and Visual Communication, I needed a way to let the friends and family that supported me over the years to see my skills. Each announcement was designed and assembled with love by myself.

Laser cut announcements are becoming increasingly popular, but are rarely cut completely through. I wanted to use that to my advantage and layer the invite with a black matte border, followed by red paper on top of that, then photo paper for my self portrait, and the laser cut wood on top. A nice design-sandwich.

These look even better in person – I carry it around with me all the time in my sketchbooks just in case. This was a really fun project to see come to fruition and has helped sharpen my skills with Illustrator and laser cutting.
