The 'Invitation Only' Invitation (Includes Video)
This week, PaperSpecsGallery.com calls attention to an 'Invitation Only' invite for Clampitt Paper. The design team at Matchbox Studio in Dallas, was inspired by Russian nesting dolls, building anticipation as the reader opens each successively smaller layer to discover yet another element.
This bit of inspiration served the Clampitt Paper invitation well. It's also a successful example of how to combine one ink color with various richly textured stock to create a colorful and interesting piece.
