PROJECT Movie Premiere Gala Invitation
CHALLENGE Simple with impact! Two color printing with die-cut slits for the rubber band. The message — if you start small and stay with it, eventually you will have something big — was a reference to the subjects of the film who started collecting unknown artists one small painting at a time and, years later, donated their multi-million dollar collection to the Smithsonian.

PROJECT Film Premiere Invitation Package
CHALLENGE Design a compelling, cost-effective invitation for the premiere of MUSE's movie about Ai Wei Wei, a Chinese artist/activist who smashes 18-th-centruy vases to call attention to the government's neglect in protecting cultural treasures. A piece of red tape over Ai Wei Wei's mouth kept the invite closed while referencing the heavy censorship he is under in China. Removing the tape allowed the invite to roll open.
