Jazzin’ Up Jazzin’ with the PHIL

We had a great time designing the invitations and materials for tonight’s annual Philharmonic fundraiser,Jazzin’ with the Phil. The gala — The Phil’s premier event — includes dinner, drinks, jazzin’ music, and a live and silent auction. Our own Matt Kelley sits on the Board of Directors and as a team, One Lucky Guitar makes a habit of supporting the local arts. Plus, we think it’s fun. Here’s a glimpse of the handiwork.

“When creating the invitation, we wanted to hold true to The Phil brand—with a touch of bright yellow and blue—to convey the sense of excitement that goes with the event’s springin’ atmosphere.

The custom shape of the invite and design cues were inspired by old jazz posters I found. The hope was to end up with a piece that would stand out among the large amount of mail some of the guests might typically receive, and embody The Phil’s Jazzin’ theme.”
