Superhero Party Invitation (Production Design)
This was my final project for the summer quarter of production. It’s a bit late getting up here, but the time did not go to waste, I ended up playing around with a cool way to display the work. Briefly about the work itself, I just had some fun with this one. I wanted to keep the design simple and convey a kind of tongue in cheek elegance that can only come from a themed costume party. I chose to set the booklet in Archer, a simply stunning slab serif, and use only three colors. I had a lot of fun composing the silhouette illustrations, drawing great inspiration from the awesome end credits of Pixar’s “The Incredibles. The Cities in that some of the illustrations are set against (in order) are Savannah, The absolutely stunning 2013 New York skyline, and Chicago on the back cover.
Now for the cool part! Directly below is an interactive page viewer. To work this you have you click and hold (grab) the corner of the page and flick it (much like an iphone) to turn the pages. This is a nice new relatively unknown addition to indesign which exports directly to an .swf without opening Flash. Very cool. Play around with it let me know if you like it. I plan on using it with other work in the future.
Click and hold the corner and flick it to turn the page, or just single click the corner.
Excelsior!
Even though I thought the idea was lame… I actually like it a lot ahah. =D
