Auction Napa Valley Invitation (Includes Video)
In this week's video, PaperSpecsGallery.com questions why you can't have fun while doing some good in the world? Designers Michael Osborne and Alice Koswara of MODSF took their lead from this attitude and created an elegant invitation with a modern twist for the Auction Napa Valley event.
The event invitation features classical typography, and gold foil stamping, then offers a modern twist, with a vibrant green envelope and orange cover. The French fold gives the piece doubled thickness, and the angled diecut gives it a unique shape.
