For DCAC’s premier fundraising event Art for Advocacy, I designed a luxury invitation that embodied the theme “Rise,” which symbolized hope, new beginnings, and the call to support children in need. The invitation featured a chocolate paper sleeve with a crescent die-cut, revealing metallic copper ink on the invitation within. The crescent shape represented the rising sun, and as the invitation was pulled from the sleeve, the theme was literally revealed, emphasizing the idea of rising to the occasion. Copper metallics, including both ink and foil, were used throughout to create a warm, inviting atmosphere that aligned with the event’s hopeful message. This theme carried through into the letterpress-foiled menus and art book, continuing the event’s cohesive look and feel.
