Description

This piece was delivered to media writers to invite them to a press conference announcing Nike’s new Storm F.I.T. Fabric. The press conference was held inside the penguin house at the local zoo. I wanted to design the invite to be intriguing enough not to be thrown away. I had fun with the obvious tie-in to the penguin house. The quantity of the project was low enough that the invitation could be hand-assembled.
