simko: Two years ago Rachelle Hruska emailed me for the first time. Several months later, we awkwardly waved hello at Diesel’s xXx Rock + Roll Circus. About a year ago, we had our first conversation during Guest of a Guest’s annual holiday party at Bungalow 8. Since then, she’s become one of my best friends. We’ve celebrated, cried our eyes out, worked together until all hours of the night and taken turns attempting and usually failing to keep one another sane.Last week, while we were both up working late, Rachelle asked me if I wanted to design the invitation for Guest of a Guest’s annual party (which was held at the Gramercy Park Hotel’s Rose Bar). I told her I did, but was already swamped. She threatened to do it herself using something called Microsoft Paint. I eventually called sacrilege and agreed to help. The invitation turned out to be one of the sloppiest quickest designs I’ve ever done. Although it’s not very visually or technically (kerning, dashes and en dashes be damned) pleasing and not nearly as ridiculous as my last Svedka-related project, I’m still proud to say that I was part of it. Simple and nice. The horizontal alignments and, yes, kerning could use a little work.. but I like. Click for high-res photo
