A collaboration with Howard Brown Health's development and events team, "Dish" is one of several dinner fundraisers that take place throughout the year. This event celebrates both Howard Brown Health's and the community's current achievements, while giving attendees insight on the company's plans for the future.
As the official first annual Dish, (the initial event was cancelled due to COVID) the vision behind the event was to replicate the look and feel of an immersive experience. Since immersive experiences come in many forms, I focused on a monochrome aesthetic and narrowed the amount of base colors down to three so the focus was more on the various hues amongst those colors. Supporting images included illustrations of various dinnertime items, such as a group of champagne glasses, a cloche, and a dinner napkin; the use of gradients and transparencies in the illustrations help to create dimension and make them look more realistic.
The colors chosen for each invitation also coincide with the lighting color choices by the events team; purple and teal were used for the dinner hall since their images included the champagne glasses and cloche, while the pink invitations with the dinner napkin illustration were specifically designed for the dinner tables.
Branding for the event was adapted into social media, print and digital invites, a step and repeat banner for pictures, and paddle raisers for the auction.
