I did some design work for a friend who works with Lomarra Events. I've designed a logo and a flyer for their first event, a St Andrew's Day Charity Ceilidh in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support.
The brief was to create an invitation that was aimed 'at younger people, international students and the like, but [still] accessible to older folk as well... it should be bright, young and fresh with accent colours.'
I took a bit of license as I was asked to use the St Andrew's flag for inspiration but thought a soltaire on blue would get too washed out in the sea of Scottish themed events. The red I chose to be striking and slightly regal (also, inadvertently conjures images of St Andrew's crucifixion!). And, I chose a particularly angular kilt image and with intersecting accents of white to give the feeling of crisscrossing.
For the image I thought what do people really go to ceilidh's for... men in kilts. Male, female, gay, straight, doesn't matter. Guys love wearing kilts. Girls love seeing guys in kilts. And everyone pays attention when they see a dude jump and spin, the question on everyone's mind, 'is he a real Scotsman?'
So, here is my homage to ceilidhs, kilts and St Andrew.
It's going to be a fab event folks so come along and support a noble cause! 26 November, 7 pm - 1 pm. St John's Church Hall, Edinburgh. You can order tickets online with Lomarra Events.
