E'ireann go Bra'ch! Happy St. Patrick's day!

A few years ago, the marketing department at CITGO asked me to create an image for an incentive trip for the CITGO marketers. The destination was to be the Emerald Isle! The instruction I was given was to design materials for the event in such a way as to convey a look of quality and elegance. Nothing silly or cliché.

The results are here for you to see. I started with a paper selection of dark green corrugated stock and a complimentary white columned paper. I located a family of very nice Gaelic fonts and created a Celtic knot design to be used on all of the material. The knot design was embossed on stickers that were applied to de-bossed circles on the corrugated paper. The binding was done with green ribbon that tied the pieces together. We provided a CD of Celtic music packaged in a box made from the corrugated paper as an announcement. I had several boxes of hand-made paper created and blind embossed each sheet with the knot design to give as favors.

The effect was an image as beautiful as the destination. Call me if I can help you create something of beauty for your next event. And go pinch the next person who forgot to wear green today!
