I was asked to make a wedding invitation for a couple. I wanted to incorporate there personalities into the invite. i also wanted to tie in the theme of there wedding. They wanted a a simple rustic wedding in the country. I choose the background because it incorporated those elements in a good way. I decided to make it horizontal because it fit everything nicely and gave it a good look.I wanted to use the background as the focal point instead of an image, It also the text to be prominent as well.
