40th Birthday Invitation - Juan Roberts


Beverly Dunn, of New York, was hosting her 40th birthday event and she called upon me to develop a premiere design that would WOW her invited guests.

The invite consisted of two panels. For panel one I shot an oversized diamond cut piece of glass positioned on elegantly fashioned dark plum Taffeta fabric. I used dramatic lighting to punctuate the colors reflected in the facets of the glass. It was a powerful piece. Panel two was the same image, but with a different graphic tone that highlighted the actual invite text.

The panels were printed on translucent parchment, rolled, placed into glossy black tubes and tied with a plum ribbon. Upon opening, the receiver gets a special little treat of glitter to dust the opening of the invitation.


As the event became closer, Ms. Dunn requested a poster that would hang in the opening of the reception area of her event. I was unable to attend, but she shared a few of the responses to the invite and the event -- a smashing success.
