Design Showcase

Title:
Milwaukee Ballet "Dinners for Tutu" Invitation

Overview:
Casper Creative Group chose to print the "Dinners for Tutu" invitation for the Milwaukee Ballet on a medley of ASPIRE Petallics Beargrass, ASPIRE Petallics Silver Ore and Glama Natural Extra White for an effect that would mirror the effervescent nature of the ballet. ASPIRE Petallics Silver Ore 98 lb. cover was used for the carrier to create an eye-catching piece that would stand out in the mail. ASPIRE Petallics Beargrass 80 lb. text was used for the opening sheets in the invitation packet to instantly engage the invitee. Glama Natural Extra White was selected to provide detailed information on each of the dinners because its translucent nature teases the invitee to peruse the entire line-up of events. The bright jewel-tone inks came alive on these stocks, and the combination of ASPIRE Petallics and Glama Natural proved to be an exceptional solution for this project.
