    uniE621 Wedding stationery
    Working closely with this bride and groom, I designed each element in a specific style. I drew the elements by hand and then converted them into vector images so I could use them in the wedding stationery designs. I also designed the print files and delivered the materials to the bride and groom, ready to be placed.
