Couple of nice pieces in the June APA bundle. The wedding invite on the left features almost a dozen different fonts. What could be a design disaster in the making instead is deftly executed, as the fonts hang together in a surprisingly cohesive way. The monochromatic printing no doubt helps this, but you gotta appreciate the risk taken in using such a wide array of faces and making it work. All in all a fun little invite.On the right is a rather simple one-color bookmark from Gary Hidden that makes great use of a tropical cut. The elongated palm tree scene feels right at home on the 7 inch tall bright-orange paper -- perfect for finding what page you left off on. It will be finding a home in my summer reading: The Dord, the Diglot, and an Avocado or Two: The Hidden Lives and Strange Origins of Common and Not-So-Common Words.
