another beauty from jim hargreaves. jim is currently working as a graphic designer at barnhart communications in denver, co.

writes jim about this invitation, “this project was done in the spring on behalf of studio pattern, also in denver. the invitation was for a VIP champagne party hosted by casenet at the bubble lounge, san fran’s premier champagne bar.

the client’s only request was that it should reference champagne labels. instead of a literal translation, i created a hybrid between classic labels and modern invitation designs. i wanted the invitation to have a clean, metropolitan feel. the dot patterns were influenced by much of the city’s history of art deco, and they were also meant to resemble the tiny bubbles that are characteristic of champagne. the finishing touch was the the trolley seal, which was modeled after a mark found on an old trolley ticket.”
