Retrospective Series: A Look Back, Part 7

In these years, a clear favorite format emerged: the tri-fold cover with pockets and a mounted invite. This design offers the perfect balance—creative expression on the cover while keeping the invite clean and legible. The pockets provide a practical, organized space for essential details. Staying consistent with previous years and our trademark, each project was defined by the client’s unique personality, which shone through, regardless of the format.
