Wedding Invitation Card

This is a design for a wedding invitation card. The dragonfly and the rabbit represent the bride and groom and the animal choices are based on their corresponding animals according to the Chinese zodiac. As the bride is Chinese and the groom is European the design incorporates elements that reflect certain traditions related to wedding ceremonies from these two cultures. The poem on the front is from 'Fate' by Susan Marr. The illustration and typography started as a Lino cut before being refined and colored using photoshop and illustrator.
