For 100 invitations it would be $60.63

that is including the folds and scoring for each invitation

I used my grayscale raster and my last screen tint for this project to wrap up my master image list.

I really liked the overall outcome. I had a few problems during the making. the background element was too bright and it took your attention away from the text. So i had to changed the pantone color. If i wanted this to be a black and white job I would have just changed it to a different shad of black, but since I needed a screen tint I used a pantone instead. Then I had problems with my 2011 lining up on the front of the invitation so I wound up changing the whole front design. It turns out it was for the better.

I really enjoyed this project and hope it gets put to use soon!!!

This project was challenging when we first started. We had to do a little bit of math to figure out our bleeds and margins. Lucky for me mine turned to out to be what we normally use. 

I used my duotone and COB on this project. I saved my COB /Duotone as an EPS. I also used a vector for the background, which was an AI file. 

I learned how to calculate to find the margins and bleeds, and I also learned how to make a vector that has too many points, have less points.

We had to use a microsoft tag as our call to action. We went on the microsoft tag website to generate them. I used my blog for the tag but if this had been a real product the tag would have went to that products website.
