This coming monday is my wife and I’s first wedding anniversary! We made it a whole year! To commemorate this joyous occasion, I did what any other graphic designer would do, create a graphic and implement that across many mediums. Ha! For real though, that’s exactly what I did!

One morning I got up super early to photograph a ring tree that Holly bought for our bathroom (CB2 online). We never had a place to put our rings, and so ring tree holder! Problem solved. She loves the thing, as do I. Upon photographing it, I played around with some fonts and settled on Ostrich Sans, which has this wonderful font weight family that has thin, condensed, double stroked, etc. I used it on the “365″ “ONE” and “YEAR”. I used Raleway for “HAPPY” and “ANNIVERSARY” for something with a bit more width and proportion. (Disclaimer, I’m a HUGE fan of The League of Movable Type, I think they do phenomenal work there!) I also added a text treatment on “YEAR” by intertwining the letters around the ring tree holder, mimicking our love for one another (cue sappy music).

I started with something of the print variety and made a card:

And then of course I designed for the iPad 2 my wife just got:

And of course I had to design for my new iPhone 4 that I recently acquired: 

And lastly, I had to design for my MacBook Pro, obviously.

Tune in next year for a revamp of the wedding anniversary design!
