Book Description
Of the four main sections, ‘Medium’ looks at the many forms in which invitations appear, from composite parcels and emails to unusual materials and structures. ‘Message’ looks at the style and method of the communication itself, from wit and intrigue to function and formality. ‘Target’ discusses issues such as personalisation and building interest through teaser campaigns, and ‘Response’ looks at what people do when they actually get the invitation, from reply slips, through website registration, to using the invitation itself as a pass. ‘Lifecycle’ covers invitations to important moments in life such as birthdays, weddings and funerals, and there are practical invitation design tips.
