Combining Cultures
When my wife and I got married in 2011, I created the elements for our wedding stationery and on-the-day needs. Our theme of two cultures coming together were represented through the California Poppy and New Zealand Pohutukawa flowers.
Through this process, I used this as an opportunity to try new styles blending hand-sketched drawings contrasted with structured typography, and to try my hand at advanced illustration techniques.
