Love and marriage

This wedding invitation is the first one I made, ever. I still like the idea of the transparant paper and the building ornaments but I would definitely change the typography now.

Dress-up baby

This is Mila's birth announcement which I designed more than 7 years ago. Corné took her picture the morning after she was born. She looks so fragile! Unfortunately I deleted the digital version, so all I'm left with are the printed cards. Nowadays it feels like something is missing when the digital version no longer excists. Times have changed!

Size doesn't matter

All of the cards above a quite small. The two together are the birth announcements of both my brothers (dating back to '61 and '62). The other one is probably a bit older. It was my grandfather's business card. He was a police-inspector.

Magenta again

Corné took a great picture of Mila when she turned 4. I used it to make the invitations. Magenta is a colour I really like to use...

You!

When my niece got married they asked me to design the wedding announcement. I had lots of different ideas to show them. This is a selection of the designs I made for them. To yellow and blue one is the one they picked.

Engaged to be married

My grandparents on my mother's side. The card is quite small, about 8 cm wide. How formal is that?

Flip de Beer

Once a year we have a houseguest who sleeps over for one or two nights. He is called Flip de Beer and the pre-school children are supposed to take care of him. The parents are expected to make a report of this special occasion.

4 years ago

Lewis was born on 13th of August, 4 years ago. I designed this birth announcement and used a collage which I had made a few years before.
