TOLKIEN INSPIRED WEDDING
OVERVIEW
Create a Tolkien inspired theme for a traditional English wedding. The challenge here was to develop a theme as an accent and not take centre stage. A visual investigation was carried out with a mood board and a mini identity kit created to aid the development of the wedding branded elements and act as a constant reference point. Design elements included hand painted illustrations, printed stationary and digital assets to tell a visually coherent story for the day.
ROLE & DELIVERY: Art Direction, Branding, Illustration, Graphic Design, Website, Print, Asset Creation, Production
ILLUSTRATIONS
13 bespoke watercolours in monochrome were created with 'good' places accented in green and 'evil' places accented in red. Watercolour illustrations were done over pencil sketches and used for both digital and print collateral.
PRINT DESIGN
Illustrations were applied to wedding stationary, printed elements on the day of the event and the photo album.
DIGITAL DESIGN
The responsive website brought all elements of the wedding brand together and was the main source of information for all guests. The form was created with a bespoke password validation for each attendee, with a CMS collecting their personal information and food preferences.
ARTS & CRAFTS
With so many physical elements required to dress the event, creative workshops became a wonderful opportunity to learn and apply new creative skills. Key pieces included: Fimo cake toppers, a Prancing Pony tavern sign, wood burned signage and typography for slate table signs.
EVENT DAY
A key accent running through all printed collateral was the addition of a wax seal with the wedding identity imprinted on it. In addition to printed products the wax seal was used for gift tagging, the ring box for the best man and most importantly chocolate seals for the cupcakes. Below are examples of how the brand and seal were used throughout the day.
