Met Gala Invitations
The Annual Met Gala Ball is held by the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The theme for this year's gala, About Time: Fashion and Duration, is based on the works of one of my favorite writers, Virginia Woolf. I wanted to design an alternative invitation for the event, but instead of creating a paper invitation, I thought a more elaborate package fit the theme best. The use of ornate patterns, photography, and type play a huge role in balancing both the antiquity and modernity of the theme.
I decided to use a photo cube to display the event information after playing with one I got as a little girl at the Rijksmuseum in The Netherlands. I love the way the cube unfolds infinitely, as if there is no beginning or end.
