Sunday in Caligo

jc — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 23:07:48 +0000

Today we introduce a new invitation design that we’re very excited about: Sunday in Caligo

Like storm clouds surrounding a rainbow, Sunday in Caligo manages to be both dark and bright at the same time.

With Sunday in Caligo, you have the option of including a passage of text, quote or poem on the reverse of the invitation. In the example above, we created a passage that is an homage to the opening soliloquies of the original Dark Shadows episodes (that partially inspired the look of this design). See the whole suite here!

The Elegance of Chiffon

Just wanted to spread the word about our new invitation design that pays homage to an era of soft glamour, an age filled with Living Strings, evening gloves and Chiffon:

Recalling old Hollywood and the fashion salons of Paris circa ’51, Chiffon is perfect for those couples searching for early Mid-Century cool.

And we just have to say that this design would look just grand on our 120lb iridescent pearl linen paper! See the whole suite here.

Revolutionary Silhouettes

Revolutionary Girl Utena. We will wisely avoid to attempt any sort of explanation or interpretation of this fascinating series. (However, we would encourage you to learn more here if you are unfamiliar and interested in manga/anime that explore traditional hero journeys through the lens of pseudo-Jungian surrealism.)

Instead, we wanted to share a few images that adorn its DVD covers. We love the silhouette style, use of symbolic color and pattern, and immediacy of these images.

And if you appreciate silhouettes as much as we do, we’d invite you to explore our Silhouette Series!
