Assignment

Tenth anniversary poster for Tales of the Cocktail 2012.

Approach

Done in a Belle Epoque style to be in keeping with the design theme of the Hotel Monteleone in New Orleans, the headquarters of the Tales event, I was trying to convey a feeling of things that stand the test of time, things that age well. I also used imagery and colors of things that relate to tenth anniversaries.

This is used as the company's business cards and on their website. It is designed so that the type can be taken out and used by itself on the company trucks and stationery.
